Got a small chip in my eye and was about to head upstairs to remove it and just happened to notice an old dental mirror on the bench. This is a concave mirror that magnifies, has a focal distance of approx
2". Held this up to my eye in an area with decent ambient light, and viola, it was a total piece of cake to gently swipe the chip out with a Q-tip. This beats the hell out of leaning over the sink and trying to shine a flashlight in the affected eye while trying to find and remove the particle. Don't know if I'd want to try to pull an imbedded particle, but for something just sitting on the eye, this makes it really really easy. Everyone working with metal or wood ought to have one of these handy.And for the safety nannies, yes, I was wearing safety glasses...
