A foreign body may cause irritation, redness, increased tear production, and blepharospasm. In some cases, a foreign body left in the eye may cause a reaction that results in permanent loss of sight in both eyes.
Foreign bodies on or in the conjunctiva can usually be flushed out with water.

Ultrasound scanning or an X-ray of the eye may also be performed.
Local anaesthetic eye-drops may be applied and a spatula used to remove an object from the cornea.
The eye may then be covered with a patch.
Antibiotic drugs may also be prescribed.... eye, foreign body in
