If you don't fancy the A&E trip, you could always poke at it with a pin until you get it out.
I managed to flick a rusty nail into one of my eyes when I worked in a factory in the 1980s - I definitely do not recommend it! The pain was excrutiating and the eyelids immediately swelled up and closed the eye. I thought I had blinded myself in that eye.or a rusty nail
If you need a watery eye, couldn't you just pour water into it?A trick I have used since childhood to remove foreign bodies from my eye is to lift one eyelid over the top of the other using fingers.
Top lid over bottom lid then bottom over top. The manoeuvre seems to make the eye water without actually touching it and the offending speck is deposited on the top of the eyelid which has been pushed under the other one.
Hospital is still the best idea, but this trick has helped me on numerous occasions.

Yep my local one is a minor injuries a&e which until recently was 8-6pm only. We now get 8am to 9pm there, but most of the places I have lived the closest a&e was a minor injuries unit only including when I live in the lakes. In fact some of the places I have lived the best place to go if you needed something like above or even stitches was actually to the doctor's surgery where they could deal with it for you provided there was no need for x-rays etc.Actually, they're not. I know a number of A&E departments with restricted opening hours...
