Who's At Risk
A person with a corneal foreign body is usually one who failed to use proper eyewear protection while working under risky conditions. Using a grinding or drilling device with metal, cutting or scraping wood, working in the garden, high wind conditions, and being in dusty or debris-laden areas are all considered risk areas, and the wearing of protective eyewear is mandatory. A corneal foreign body can also result simply from walking down the street or riding in a car with the top or window down.
