Has any one got a cure for ark eye did some welding to day my eyes feel like ive got a ton of sand in them
-
A&E...they have some lovely eye drops that is instant relief...nurses are nice too :lol:
They will also check you haven't done any perminant damage
-
afraid the only cure is a&e for some drops.....its a drug of some kind (an illegal drug i think)...........works a treat.........but leave it as late as you possibly can or you'll wake up at 4 in the morning and it'll be worse than ever!!
-
I was going to say the same thing A&E!!!
-
if i went to the RLI in leicester it will be aleast a 5 hour wait they will have got better by then
-
and catch a dose of some diease its filty there took my son there a few weeks ago stains on sheets blood on the floor under the bed and a bowl of sick sat on the cuboard
-
5 hours!!!!!!!!!! they will be at there worst by then go now if i was you :wink:
-
Speaking from my own experience Arch Eye gets allot worse & you'll be in agony soon.
I'd be on me toes to A&E soonest...the drops are some kind of illegal drug & you will not be allowed to drive home after.
-
aah the joys of arc eye :shock: you only do it once
and a good cure or helpful tip is not to be looking at a pc monitor it dont help [-X dark room and cold flannel across eyes if you dont want to go to a&e
-
Ouch, my partner (hairyasswelder) has come home with that a couple of times, its nasty, but i'd get it sorted asap, u will be in agony later :?
-
Haul your bum down A&E else you'll regret it in a few days, it wont get better on its own.
They will also check for damage to the retina etc which if untreated can cause blindness.
-
and after you've got them sorted buy yourself a welding mask!!
hope your eyes feel better soon :wink:
-
Are the eye drops steroids?
I've often seen welders in less developed countries cheerfully welding away with no eye protection. I can't imagine it's a great idea.
-
had t once......not recomended i can tell ya :shock: :shock:
a&e is the way to go mate, afterall you only have 1 pair of eyes :wink:
-
As a medic i say like the rest and get to A+E like yesterday.
-
i think a and e seems the best bet , to clarify a and e wont dispense 'illegal' drugs but prescription ones.
-
Cold tea from a tea pot dripped in the eye and then a dark room!
Feel for ya, its been a few years since i last had a flash and i wouldnt want one soon! Cant see and you feel all hopeless!
Hope it dont last too long :wink:
Cheers
