Maybe not: This is a good lubricating drop and may make your eye more comfortable. But it will not loosen an embedded foreign body. If it does not wash out overnight, see an ophthalmologist for removal.

Maybe: If the foreign body is not embedded inthe cornea they could be helpful. If the foreign body is embedded you will need to see ophthalmologist for removal.
