A couple days ago a loose eye lash fell into my eye. That's annoying. But you know the drill, right? You rub at it a little bit, and then if that doesn't work, you blink a lot. Blinking wasn't doing it either though. I thought for a while I was making some progress by rolling my eyes clockwise, but it always seemed to end up back in the same place. This continues to annoy me for almost two days before I try to just wash it out with water, by the then the corner of my eye is deep blood red. That doesn't work either, but I look in the mirror, and I realize that the lash somehow got lodged in my upper tear duct! It was literally lodged in my eyelid! My upper punctum, actually, as the image shows. I managed to finally get it out with some tweezers, a friend, and a great deal of concentration. It really sucked though!
