Members Emprov Posted July 21, 2007 Members Share Posted July 21, 2007 Kinda depends on how bad the damage to the eye is, if any. If it's pretty uncomfortable or if it looks bad, it may be time to go to the doctor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Thumper Posted July 22, 2007 Members Share Posted July 22, 2007 WEAR EYE PROTECTION. Sorry for shouting, but you only have one pair of eyes to last you a life time. Go to any hardware store and pick up a pair of Uvex safety glasses for five bucks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators isaac42 Posted July 22, 2007 Moderators Share Posted July 22, 2007 No, you probably needed to shout. He probably doesn't wear ear protection, either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If any redness beings/persists or gets worse, you need to go to your family doc and they will likely prescribe antibiotic eye drops. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
