What I use quite a bit is a book match. When you tear the match out the torn
end has a bunch of little fuzzes on it. Usually all you have to do is touch
the particle in your eye and it sticks to it.

Or you could do what the old native american mother's did for their kids and
lick the speck out of the other guy's eye

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...


We normally try to help each other out with the chip or dirt in the eye gig.
It feels a bit strange, but once you get past the gay issue, a guy helpin
with a visor on can see alot better than you can.
