I managed to get a 3mm long sliver in my eye once. Strange thing was I felt it go in blinked once and didn't feel it again so I thought it was out. Had safety glasses on as well. Went 2 days before I realized I had something embedded in my eye. Cost me 3 weeks of pain and about a $1000.
Now I only wear a full face shield.

EDIT: I found one. https://www.ebay.com/itm/Eye-Magnet-...AAAOxyQfJTfl5d
Go to eBay’s main page and click on categories, select the business & industrial category and then search “eye magnet”. You should then get more eye magnets selection than anyone could ever need, some even priced under $5 including shipping ! It’s only a highly polished magnet that’s smooth enough that you can rub it on your eye without cutting it so it doesn’t need to cost a lot. I’ve always wrapped mine with one layer of wet paper towel to break the bond the eyeball’s moisture has on some particles but some people I know use then dry with good results. I can only tell you what has worked well for me in the past. ~ John Buchtenkirch
