Good luck Dave and get well soon

If you do get metalin or onyour eye, don't use Optrex as it has added oxygen and makes it rust ans stick. Use distilled stuff like for batteries and steam irons.
Last time I got metal in my eye it was when I was taking my safety specs off!

I hope it all goes well Dave, keep fighting.

I used to weld without a mask until I got a flash in my eye and now I wear a welding mask now and I used to operate grinders without safety glasses but not now after having got a small piece of metal in my eye but luckly the hospital got it out and I know how Dave feels in away.



Dave,GET WELL SOON & WISHING YOU ALL THE BEST IN THE FUTURE!!!!!!!

Get well soon Dave and I'm sure your story will help others to remember saftey equipment is there for a reason!!

Hope every thing goes ok Dave, Did similar some 20 years back, drilling on my back to install a radio under the dash, Lucky got away with it, just loads of visits to the eye clinic as they rusted over a two week period, no blame there mate, we are all guilty at some time.
All the best anyway..

[davetheraveuk]

just an up date been back to the hospital today had more tests done again and geting as much info as pos

they took loads of photos to use as training for there staff so this sort of thing isn't missed again, they have said it's there fault in a round about way, i'm just waiting on the date for op now but they still cant say which way the op will go but it will be along process and recovery if it goes well or loss of sight at the other end

thanks again for everyones comments

Keep strong mate, they do tend to edge on the side of caution.
