Same thing happened to me a while back. I had the drill however it was a ***** drill at that. The doc had to jump start it by spinning it with his fingers. I had some kind of numbing agent drops though and felt great until the next morning. Never mess with your eyes. They are something we take for granted every day.

always, a good idea to wear safeties at all time. the only pair i wear are clear all around, and weigh next to nothing. cost about a buck a pair if you buy 50 at a time. they usually never leave my face unless i'm putting sunglasses on or going to sleep. sounds crazy but you would believe the **** you hear click off them at the most random times!!

that sucks! I know how it feels to have metal in the eye. Hope it recovers good.

I never liked safety glasses till that happened and it's mandatory for me to wear them at work. Now I always wear them when I am under the truck.



JFWY!

You need to find a better doctor.The second time I had my toenails removed I went to a specialist and I couldn't feel a thing. Quite the opposite from my first removal in which my general doctor removed them.. I puked and passed out on the table..
