Optometrists are equipped with specialised tools specifically designed for foreign body removal from the eye. They are trained in safely removing foreign objects without causing further harm. If you suspect you have a foreign body in your eye, it is advisable to go straight to an optometrist for immediate care. GPs may not have the necessary tools for safe and effective removal, and they often refer such cases to optometrists.
