Foreign Body Removal
A foreign body could be something like an eyelash, sawdust or dirt that gets into the eyes. Depending on what it is and how it happened, the foreign body may cause serious injury or it may go away on its own. Since eyes are delicate, if the foreign object is stuck in your eye for more than a period of a couple of hours, you must stop attempts to remove it yourself and contact an eye doctor.
At Lininger Eye Care, we can attempt to remove foreign objects using special tools and techniques. You can contact our office at 913.687.2772
