Narrative

The employee was working in a warm location and sweat was running down his face into his eyes. He wiped his face off to remove the sweat. He went home at end of shift but it did not seem to be bothering him. He woke up early in the morning with pain in his eye. We took him to an eye doctor the next morning. They found a tiny piece of steel and removed it.
