"Metal filing in left eyr"

On Saturday evening a fragment of metal filing fell into me eye from my hair after carrying out welding and grinding work on a car. I went to my local A&E as the filing was embedded in the eye, but they could not remove it as they only use cotton buds and this was after a 3.5 hour wait. I was told to visit the eye clinic in the week which really was not an option for me.

I went home and googled Moorefields which the nurse had told me about, made a phone call to the switchboard and was advised to arrive around 8am Sunday morning.

I arrived at approx 8.30am and were pleasantly greeted by a person on the reception who was very understanding and friendly. I then saw the triage nurse who again was very friendly. After only 10-15 minutes I was being treated by a very kind person and on my way home at 9.30am.

I would like to say the hospital was all I could have wanted and would recommend to anyone that needs anything similar to myself.

Finally many thanks for your help in this case.
