Using a 4" electric grinder to grind a metal frame. Small speck of metal in the eye was not found by the miner until he was at home later that evening. He tried to flush with water then went to urgent care the next morning. He was wearing safety glasses and a face shield and can only speculate that this in how it happened. Doc removed object & prescribed ointment.
