How to clear tear drops from your eye whilst you are on a spacewalk

[gary]

Today's Sydney Morning Herald has an article about a recent spacewalk

had flaked off and got into his eye whilst he was in the suit.

"They actually kind of conglomerate around your eyeball," Bollinger recounted.

So faced with this problem, how does one remove the accumulated tear drops from
one's eye when one can no longer touch one's face?

Yep...astronaut gets ready...you put the right tool bag in, you pull the left tool bag out, you put the right tool bag in and you shake it all about, you do the slo-mo hokey pokey and the bag goes overboard, there goes $250000

Too bad if someone in the station starts playing really soppy music and the astronaut on the EVA is a real softy
