Suggest Cure For Irritation In The Eyes
I was working with fiberglass insulation today and may have gotten some in my eye. The irritation started several hours after my work day ended and increased as the night progressed to the point of not being able to open my eye at times.
Is this situation urgent to the point of going to the hospital or is having it checked out by a doctor tomorrow sufficient?

Hello
Welcome to health care magic.
I reviewed your history.
It seems from the history that you are having irritation in the eye probably because of fall of fibre glass in the eye.
This needs to be removed under topical anesthesia by a ophthalmologist and need to start antibiotic eye drops to prevent secondary infection.
Hence I advice you yo consult your ophthalmologist for evaluation and treatment accordingly.
Hope this is helpful to you.
Thank you
