Injured employee was attempting to seal a leaking port hole on a cement silo.  Cement dust got under or around EE's safety glasses and into EE's eyes.  EE rinsed EE's eyes thoroughly, but an hour later felt there was still dust or a scratch in EE's left eye so EE was taken to the doctor for additional care.  EE received prescription eye drops for EE's left eye.
