Foreign Body in the Eye
A foreign body in the eye is a small object under the eyelid that
does not penetrate the eyeball itself.
What are the causes and risks of the injury?
Several things can lead to material entering the eye and being
trapped under the lid. Airborne debris can fly into the eye. This might occur
in a strong wind. It is also a risk when working around sawdust or grinding
metal. It may also occur while doing yard work or working under a
car.
