Narrative

Miner was removing a rock which was stuck in an overhead conveyor. High winds and the shaking of the rock caused rock dust to be blown around his safety glasses and into his eye. One piece of rock dust was removed from his eye by an optometrist (non-imbedded) and the Miner was given prescription eye drops to prevent infection.
