What should be done if a splinter enters the eye?

If a splinter gets into the eye, you need to urgently contact an ophthalmologist, in no case should you try to get the splinter yourself, because you can seriously harm the eye. If small sawdust got into the eye and did not take root in it, then the body itself will get rid of them with the help of the lacrimal glands. Once I was working on a machine without glasses and a metal shard stuck in my eye. I got this splinter with the help of my tongue – this is an unpleasant procedure, when someone else’s tongue is thrust into your eye, but it saves you from going to the doctor and having an operation.
