Ron, 	
	
This is in 'no' way intended to minimize your unfortunate accident.	
	
The lens is internal, not external. You probably have it in the cornea. If it
had penetrated the cornea and hit the lens, it would be much more serious with a
real risk of vision loss. If worst comes to worst, you could probably have a
cornea transplant, or if the lens is actually damaged, a synthetic lens
implanted.	
	
Your advice is good, as most eye injuries result just as yours did.

If you all do this, please be careful while taking the plastic off of the 
meter.  I have a piece of Drake meter plastic permanently in the lens of 
my right eye.  It is dead center and would have done more harm taking it 
out then leaving it since plastic was inert.

It was my own fault, but

PLEASE USE SAFETY GLASSES while working the plastic off of old meters.

73,
Ron
