Go to hospital......but make an appointment for A&E, apparently it's not a walk-in service these days.
Oh and the eye emergency department is neither the A&E department nor the eye department.
Oh yes - two tools the nice eye doctor uses to poke your sensitive and squishy eyeball are FUCKING HYPODERMIC NEEDLES and A CUNTING DREMEL DRILL OF ALL THE THINGS.
Actually the drill wasn't as bad as the needles - they called it a 'brush' but only in the same way a Flymo could be described as a feather duster.
It turns out that if you manage to embed a rusty piece of metal in your eye you need to get it out really quickly before it starts rusting to your eyeball and the eye starts healing over it and sealing it in. Can you tell I've recently had a bad experience?
