Got them at 50yo and went into my eye

Saw my normal doctor and did a test... definitely painful, but I was handling it okay.... as it was on my forehead. Dr. told me... if it gets in your eye go immediately to an Ophthalmologist. Being true to form for me, it happened on a Sunday and so I went to the Ophthalmologist on Monday. She would not let me leave until the eye pressure went down. Mine registered at 50 and normal is 12-22 and that can cause you to lose your sight. Many drops and pills later all was well.
