If you do have metal in your eyes, the doctors or attendants will
not even attempt a MRI. The results are very blinding. I know this
from experience, both times I had to have x-rays of my ‘orbs’ (eyes).
You have just no idea how strong that MRI magnetic can be. so don’t
mess around and give them any false or vague answers. It’s your sight
you want to watch and save!!!
As one who has had several MRI’s, I would like to remind everyone
that if magnets had no effect on living tissues an MRI would not
work. The fillings in our teeth are the most metal most of us have
in our bodies, yet they are never a concern. Make your MD awair of
what you do for both a living & as hobbies then let them make the
approate discissions.

To expand on the subject:
Everything around us are made of tiny particles ( we are talking on
sub-atomic scale ) From the point of quantum mechanics, every
particle spins in certain direction. What MRI does; it stops all
particles, subjected to the magnetic field, from spinning. When field
is turned off, the particles resume their spin. Each particle takes
different time interval to resume spinning, and it is the difference
in time to resume spinning, that enables the imaging hardware to take
a snapshot.
The strength of the magnetic field to accomplish this is very
respectable indeed.

Irene,
I have to get MRIs every now & then for MS and they always ask if I
work with metal, and of course I tell them I do. They simply x-ray my
head to make sure there aren’t any metal flecks hiding in my eyes
before they do the MRI.
