wow you're sad trolling though old threads.

TBF I remembered the fabrication welding bit and the eyes so a simple search of "fabrication and ninky" did it.

But I would say anyone with weld in their eyes should go to hospital straight away.
With a family history of glaucoma and a couple of uncles who have lost some sight in one eye for the very same reasons you have given above.

Eyes are basically very delicate and hard to repair and go beyond repair very easily, a good bath in optrex is not the saviour of sight unfortunately.

So I just thought your post ironic and the latter one a bit wierd, if you have weld in your eye it is not suddenly going to get better.
If there is damage or a risk of damage to your eye you should get yourself to A&E.

Can I just say on a serious note here.I didn't know what was inside the glow sticks(You know the things that you press and they glow in the dark) they have powdered glass inside them.had I known this I would never have bought them for the party.I would not let my daughter have these now and she was so scared at the time that she will not go near them anyway.just a little note of caution.

TBF if I had glowing liquid going in my sons eye, if it was painful and not getting better after washing, add to that the warning I totaly think you did the right thing.

Eyes are to important not to.

Luckily my GP is excellent, and local A &Es, variable. what is excellent are the two minor injury/accident bits at two local community hospitals. No doctor, just nurses doing dresses, removing splinters.p..the kind of thing our mums might have done themselves and mums now are told to seek advice for. I've been really impressed with them.

also, one of them has on of the private enterprise within the NHS type treatment centres...radiography, some ops, smeinvestigations....and it is superb. Really amazingly superb. Clean in the extreme, the staff seem motivated to help and I have been overwhelmingly impressed.

It does seem to vary depending on where you live.We don't have anything like that here. I have always accepted waiting, even though it is a pain at the time,
our hospital A & E is so cold and unwelcoming(I dont mean the staff just the building) and we always seem to have the odd drunk person around which frightens the kids!

Until recently I only knew of one of the community hospitals, th one on the site with the treatment centre (I think what those private within NHS operation places are called), the other one they told me about.

How did you find this out? The last time our GP Surgery told us to go to our hospital A&E they didnt mention anywhere else.

it wasn't weld. it was a tiny piece of metal from grinding. glad you're so concerned about my husbands health.

I am concerned with anyones health. Just because I disagree with people does not mean I don't care, or don't want people to take care.

I think the scoffing about someone taking their child to hospital A&E was out of order IMHO.

I knew about one and had to go back every day for a week (long story) and they told me there was one closer:o

Er, I think if powdered glass was in a child of mines eye, it would be right off to A&E. Same with weld.

The point of having a nurse at A&E is that the nurse can work out whether you need to be at A&E, or go to your GP/Dr. If there are any doubts, you call NHS direct first, but, better safe than sorry.
