What Is The Best Way To Heal A Burn Caused In The Eye?
Hi my husband was welding yesterday and he either got a tiny piece of medal or steel in his eye. I really can't tell it may even be a burn but it looks like a little pin hole in it. What can I do to either draw it out or heel it. Any suggestions?

Hello
It seems from the history that your husband had a burn or fall of metal piece into the eye while welding.
The next approach is to rule out the presence of foreign body, if present it has to be removed.
If it only corneal burn then it requires treatment by antibiotic eye drops and lubricating eye drops.
Hence I advice you to get examination to done by a eye doctor for confirmation of diagnosis and treatment accordingly.
Thank you
