A member asked:
Is there an easy way to remove a foreign body (eye lash) from my eye?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Flush with water: Although flushing with water may dislodge a foreign body such as an eyelash, if it does not release it, you may need to have it removed by a doctor. Do not attempt using anything to remove it - you risk injury and infection by doing so.
