    You only have to worry about ferrous metals that are attracted to
    magnets. Non-ferrous and precious metals are not a problem. Welders,
    machinists and mechanics have to get their eyes X-rayed before an
    MRI. The magnets used by an MRI are very, very strong. If you or
    your doctor are in any doubt, getting an eye X-ray is simple and
    relatively inexpensive (compared to what you pay for an MRI) and
    will be cheaper in the long run if there is a problem with magnetic
    particles.
