1. Take a pair of scissors and just poke that eye out - dig it out and remove it

Seriously, if there wasn't an eye there you wouldn't have a problem!

3. A melon baller is perfect for scraping out the remnants from the socket

It's important to scrape out the socket entirely.

7. Bravo MrCoffee, Bravo for thinking outside of the box

I would try the Ice Cream scoop but the scoop is too big for the eye. I think the Melon Baller is a perfect fit!

5. Boric acid solution

You can get it at the pharmacy (non-prescription, don't worry) and it has directions for eye wash. It is also excellent for killing ants and cockroaches.

6. How about a new eye.

Of course the old one will need to go.

8. stigmatizm is caused by a natural warping in the sphere of the eye. The cure...

Edited on Thu Apr-23-09 06:05 PM by Bucky

is quite simple: counteract the irregular curve in the one section of your eye's natural spherical shape by placing small objects under your eyelids until your vision returns to a normal arrangement. For easy insertion and removal, I recommend toothpicks.

For sanitary purposes, of course, make sure you use the ones that come individually sealed in plastic.

9. Addendum: the picture I could not post in my reply without a warning

This is graphic. But it's relevant to the discussion.

But it's gross.

And graphic.

So I'm warning you.

Do not keep scrolling if you're easily weirded out.

No, seriously man, it's gross.

You were warned.
