What I use quite a bit is a book match. When you tear the match out the torn

the particle in your eye and it sticks to it.

Chew the fuzzy end to get it sticky with YOUR saliva and it easily grabs
stuff out of your eye.

Aack. There was a real eye doctor who posted here on occasion,
I think he's passed out from angst.

FWIW the story about the Gerstner toolboxes is along those lines.
The mirror is in the top lid for exactly this reason, that back
in the old days the sanitary facilities in most shops were primitive
at best, and if you needed to get something out of your eye the
best way to see it was right at your toolbox, in that mirror.
First surface IIRC.

It's not really there for combing yer hair.
