Dang, I keep missing this pirate day thing.

A metal shaving fell into my eye at work earlier this summer, so I even have the eyepatch.

Never got a pic though.


"Interesting" experience btw. Finally managed to flush the tiny thing out the next morning (took some work too boy), but my eye was still badly irritated all day. Went to ER that night and learned it had left a rust ring on my cornea. Doc put in a few drops of anesthetic, and when I saw what was coming next I had my wife leave the room.

He proceeded to chip most of the rust out with a fine needle, then buffed out the rest with a small electric burr (think of a Dremel on your eyeball). Fun stuff. Fortunately the eye is still better than 20/20... good thing 'cuz it's my dominant one.

Wear eye protection people. It's easy to take vision for granted.
