Has anybody had one of these orbital x-rays to determine if there are

Apparently the magnet can move any small piece in your eye and do
major damage. When I got to that point on the consent form I couldn't
rule out the possibility....I guess I'll find out tomorrow.


Yes. It is a must and no bother.

Ditto, three times for the eyes, and many times more for my artificial valve
