Toenail stuck in eye?!


Question: Toenail stuck in eye!?
This is embarrassing, but a few minutes ago I was clipping my toenail and a piece flew into my eye!. It fell beneath my lower eye-lid and it is irritating in that area now!. Could this cause a problem!? How can I get it out quickly and preferably painlessly!?Www@Answer-Health@Com


Answers:
It could scratch your eye, so you'll definately want to get it out!. Try pulling down your lower lid and getting it with your finger!. (wash your hands first) If that doesn't work, try rinsing your eye out with water!. Just flush the water right into your eyeball!. Www@Answer-Health@Com

hey, hmm!.!. rinse your eye out, can you actually see the nail!? if not it probably already came out and just caused a small abrasion on your conjunctiva which will irritate for a while!. You do want to go see your doctor if it persists for over 12 hours or so, toenails have all kinds of bacteria etc on them and can potentially lead to some kind of infection so better safe than sorry!. For now, wash that eye out as best you can but if the irritation persists go see your doctor!. Www@Answer-Health@Com

if anything gets in your eyes it can cause conjunctivitis (pinkeye)!.
Not sure how you would go about getting that out other than flushing it with water!. I have a hard time keeping my own eyelashes out of my eyes myself!. Www@Answer-Health@Com

Soak your eyes in a basin of water!. Open your eyes while soaked so the toenail will come out!. Hope it'll work!.!.!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
