Having something in your eye can be painful and scary — especially during the holidays when new toys, wrapping paper, and flying bits of packaging are everywhere. 🎁👀
If your natural tears don’t flush it out, you can use artificial tears to help — but even once the object is gone, the corneal abrasion can make it feel like something is still there.
It’s always safest to see your Pacific Eye Doctors optometrist. We’ll check for any remaining debris and determine if lubricants, antimicrobial drops, or a bandage contact lens is needed.
We reserve same-day appointments for eye emergencies all season long.
If something gets in your eye, book an appointment — we’re here to help keep your holidays safe and comfortable. 👓💙
