Aluminium Oxide Crystal in my eye...HELP!?!
Question:
Aluminium Oxide Crystal in my eye...HELP!?
I bought some Loreal face scrub, which has aluminium oxide crystals in it.
Its used like a micro-derma-abrasion.
and as the name suggests these crystals are quite abrasive, basically like micro bits of glass.
I seem to have got a small bit in my eye, and its been irratating my eye for days.
What do you suggest? I tried an OPTREX eye bath, but it hasnt helped, I am worried the crystal is lodged in the inner part of my eye.
HELP!
Answers:
doubtful IMO that the "crystal" is still in there. so quit trying to "remove" it if you havent already stopped.
but you probably do have a secondary inflammatory event and could have even had an abrasion (although in a young, healthy, non-contact-lens-wearing adult an abrasion will usually heal itself in about 48 hrs) .
this warrants an eye examination, but this is not a medical emergency IMO
