Hi any opinions please!!
Ds2 aged 17weeks has an eyelash in his eye since yesterday - I didnt want to poke around in his eye so just left it & hoped it would sort itself out. Today the eye is watering so it must be irritating him. Do I try & get it out? and if so how? I dont want to make it sore - poor little man

yeah i would just see if you can pull the eyelid down enough to just wipe it out with your little finger, or with the very corner of a clean hanky

Take him to an optician.

Numbing eye drops will make removal easier and they can make sure no damage was caused.

Thanks for replies - i tried to pull eyelid down & couldnt see it so it must have worked its way out. Isnt as watery now as it was - I will remember the optician suggestion too - I never thought of that Smile
