Removal of a corneal foreign body is the procedure to remove a particle — such as a metal splinter, shaving, or shard — embedded in the cornea of the eye.

When is it indicated? It is performed when something lodges on the ocular surface and causes pain, tearing, redness, or a gritty sensation that does not resolve with blinking.

What to expect? It is usually done in the office, quickly, with measures to relieve discomfort and care for the cornea afterward.

Who performs it? It is handled by an ophthalmologist, and an optometrist or another vision health professional can provide initial guidance. If you feel something stuck in your eye, seek care promptly and avoid rubbing it.
