call your doctor first. many primary care clinicians do not have the proper equipment (like a slit lamp or instruments to remove a corneal metal splinter) or even the person skill to do it. you may be better off going to an urgent care or occupational health facility that does this all of the time or even a eye doctor. again. call the facility or provider first to make sure they do this. certain ferrous metals can quickly rust and cause a ring making the treatment more complicated so the sooner you do this the better.
