Irene,

    I had an MRI done a couple of years ago. I told my doctor what I do
    and heordered an Xray before the MRI to make sure there was no metal
    in my eyes. There wasn't but if theere had been my assumption is the
    Dr. would tell you what to do. But in general my understanding is
    metal, especially ferrous metals, in your eyes during an MRI is a big
    NO since the machine is one big magnet. The direct path of removal
    would not be pleasant to say the least. 

Hope this helps
Rae Mearkle
