- Falling
Metal particles can occur from metal grinding and machine work … the metallic flakes have a tendency to get into hair then fall onto the cornea and stick. [timroot.com]
Foreign bodies fall into two categories. Superficial foreign bodies : these stick to the front of the eye or get trapped under one of the eyelids, but do not enter the eye. [netdoctor.co.uk]

Eyes
- Eye Pain
Children complaining of eye pain or scratchiness should be evaluated by a physician. Anyone working with metal on metal (eg. hammering a nail) should seek medical attention if eye pain turns up. [pulse-mdurgentcare.com]
Symptoms may include: Sensation of a foreign object in the eye Pain in the eye Tearing of the eye Pain when the child looks at a light Excessive blinking The symptoms of foreign bodies in the eye may resemble other eye conditions or medical problems. [chop.edu]
Avoid rubbing the eye and have the athlete close their eye until the pain and burning subside. Protect the eye from bright light. Gently Remove Object. [sportmedbc.com]
Common symptoms of a foreign body in the eye may include eye pain, especially when opening or closing the eye; a feeling that there is something in your eye that you cannot get out; and tearing and redness of the eye. [walgreens.com]

- Blurred Vision
They generally don’t cause harm, but can affect a child’s vision. The tumors can be surgically removed, which most frequently occurs if the tumor causes astigmatism (blurred vision) or if the tumor grows in size. 4. [healthline.com]
Also, transportation to hospital is required if there is blurred vision, tunnel vision, a diminished visual field that does not lessen after five minutes, and/or if blood is evident behind the cornea (clear part of the eye). [sportmedbc.com]
See your family GP or go to an emergency department if any of the following develop pain increases in the eye despite taking painkillers a change in vision, especially any sudden loss of vision blurred vision or black spots in your vision or blindness [healthywa.wa.gov.au]
If you continue to have discomfort or blurred vision, get medical help. Contact your health care provider and DO NOT treat yourself if: You have a lot of eye pain or sensitivity to light. Your vision is decreased. You have red or painful eyes. [medlineplus.gov]
Most recently, studies have shown that corneal abrasions due to a foreign body are best treated without eye patching. [10, 11, 12] Patients note faster healing, less blurred vision, and even less pain without an eye patch. [emedicine.medscape.com]

- Conjunctival Injection
Anterior segment exam revealed moderate meibomian gland inspissation, diffuse 1+ conjunctival injection in the right eye and trace injection in the left, with moderately sized follicles more abundant in the right inferior fornix and palpebral conjunctiva [healio.com]
A scleral entry site may be seen with an area of conjunctival injection or chemosis with or without conjunctival tear. Pigment over the scleral entry site may suggest uveal tissue prolapse. [eyewiki.aao.org]
Abrasion Conjunctival injection (redness) or ciliary injection. Epithelial defect that stains with fluorescein. Linear or multiple abrasions suggest a subtarsal FB. Corneal foreign body Visible FB (easily missed at the limbus). [patient.info]
- Excessive Tearing
(Reason: to prevent damage to the cornea) Expected Course: The discomfort, redness and excessive tearing usually pass 1 to 2 hours after the FB is removed. [tenaflypediatrics.com]
Some other symptoms include: Burning or irritation in the eyes Eye pain Excessive tearing Excessive blinking Redness or bloodshot eyes Light sensitivity Difficulty opening the eye Discharge of blood or fluid (more common with intraocular objects) Many [northside-eyecare.com]
What to Expect: The discomfort, redness, and excessive tearing should go away within 1-2 hours. If it does not go away, you should see a doctor. The foreign body may still be there or you might have a scratch on your cornea. [advocaremainlinepeds.com]
Excess tears in the eyes flow into small drainage ducts in the inner corners of the eyelids, which drain into the back of the nose. Dry eyes can occur when tear production and drainage is not in balance. [aoa.org]
Neurologic
- Irritability
Aniya, “Majorly painful / painfully major eye irritation tonight. Had to be rushed to the Makati Med E.R.. Buti walang scratch or foreign body. Na-irritate lang dahil sa bahay when it was itchy and a bit sakit, I scratched and washed it.” [bulgaronline.com]
If you have a chemical irritant in your eye as well, then you will need to rinse for a certain amount of time depending on the chemical. For mildly irritating chemicals, rinse for five minutes. [wikihow.com]
Minor foreign bodies of the eye include things like sand, dust, or eyelashes that are either blown or fall into the eye and cause irritation. [walgreens.com]
Blinking only increases the irritation. • Do not try to remove the object yourself. [southerneyecare2020.com]
Most people are alerted to a foreign body because the affected eye becomes red, irritated, watery or painful. [sachemeyecare.com]
- Hyperactivity
Characteristic features include confusion, abnormal behaviors (such as aggression, irritability, and hyperactivity), seizures, and coma. [treatable-id.org]

The condition chiefly affects the nervous system, causing confusion, restlessness, memory loss, abnormal behaviors (such as aggression, irritability, and hyperactivity), seizures, and coma. These signs and symptoms can be life-threatening. [monarchinitiative.org]
Workup
Most maneuvers are aimed at rapid lowering of IOP. l Treat immediately before starting workup (if patient presents within 24 hours of visual loss), best hope is to treat within 90 minutes. l Digital ocular massage (眼球マッサージ):眼を閉じてもらい, 交互に眼を ⼩刻みに押さえる。 [slideshare.net]
Treatment
Treatment of foreign bodies in eyes Medical treatment generally includes: The doctor or nurse checks your vision. Once they find the foreign body, they gently remove it after numbing the eye with anaesthetic eye drops. [betterhealth.vic.gov.au]
Treatment Treatment will vary from antibiotic drops or ointment to ophthalmologic surgery. A physician may choose to dilate the eye, enlarge the pupil, to better see the retina. [pulse-mdurgentcare.com]
The most common treatment is curettage. It has shown to be effective, but multiple treatment sessions are often necessary for complete resolution due to subclinical lesions. [healio.com]
Treatment for Foreign Objects The course of treatment for a foreign object in the eye depends on what the object is, and the degree of contact it has made with the eye. [bausch.com]
Pursuing treatment with a physician is advised in order to undergo an eye examination and determine the most appropriate form of treatment. [humanitas.net]
Prognosis
Post-operative RDs have a poor visual prognosis. [eyewiki.aao.org]
What Is the Prognosis for an Eye Foreign Body? The prognosis for corneal abrasions, even large ones, is very good. Most corneal abrasions heal within 48 hours. The prognosis for other eye abnormalities is often much less favorable. [emedicinehealth.com]
