Foreign Body Removal and Eye Lash Removal

​​​​​​​Safe and Gentle Eye Emergency Care

Foreign bodies or misdirected eyelashes in the eye can cause significant discomfort and, if untreated, lead to corneal damage. At DeSouza Optometry, we provide prompt, professional removal to relieve symptoms and protect your vision.

Common Causes of Eye Foreign Bodies

Foreign objects may enter the eye from:

• Dust or debris
• Metal or wood particles
• Workplace or home projects
• Wind or outdoor exposure

In-turned or misdirected eyelashes can also rub against the eye, causing chronic irritation.

Our Removal Process

Using specialized instruments and magnification, we:

• Safely remove the foreign object or eyelash
• Assess the cornea for scratches or injury
• Provide treatment if irritation or abrasion is present
• Offer guidance to prevent future issues

Prompt care reduces the risk of infection and long-term damage.

When to Seek Immediate Care

Book an urgent visit if you experience:

• Persistent foreign body sensation
• Eye pain or tearing
• Redness or light sensitivity
• Vision changes after debris exposure
