There's something in my eye
Or at least thats what I thought when I woke up and spent an hour trying to flush it out. ER doc says I scratched the piss out of my cornea gave me all kinds of freaky eye drops. Now it hurts like hell and everything is lookin' orange. Sucks.

Re: There's something in my eye
Damn. I've been there.
Once, roughhousingwith my boy I caught a finger to the eye and it scratched the cornea.
A second time, I was using a hacksaw when the blade shattered (piece of crap) and I wasn't wearing safety glasses and had a piece of the blade bounce off my eye before I could close it.
Third time was when I simply rubbed one of my eyes too hard. Ever since I had LASIK surgery, I've had dry-ish eyes. Apparently, when that happens, simply rubbing your eyes can corneal sloughing. Needless to say, I don't rub my eyes any more.
Each time, it sucked royally. It really frigging hurts and can make doing normal things hard. Do you have light senstivity with it too? All three times, anything but dimm, cave-like light caused bad pain and my eyes squinched shut.

I know it's a stretch, but do you think your match last night had anything to do with it?

Saved.....
That is funny right there.
On a side note. Scratched my eye pretty bad one time and the itching, stinging, dry pain didn't go away from at least a week
not fun

Had same thing this past summer. I flushed my eye out over a hundred times with various things. Nothing worked. Went to the doc and they called it a cornial abrasion. Gave me some drops then put a blue light over my eye and i guess the drops(made things orange) helped pinpoint scratch.
Well after a couple days all was good as long as you take the drops they give you.

Re: There's something in my eye
Forget the stupid eye drops. Grab a nail, screwdriver, or whatever and just pluck the spec out.

Poor thing. 
I wonder if your hands were chapped and you scratched it when rubbing it. Hopefully it heals quickly. Did you go to work? |

I did. Drove myself to the ER and the office. I'm really good with one eye. I've been practicing so I can be a pirate, too. |

I know how it feels Adam. My son accidently scratched my cornea during playtime.
I have the same drops/pastes. I still use them on and off this past 2 years. And it'll never heal properly.
I think DRTY sells eye patches. Looks manly.

Re: There's something in my eye
The ice pack is good and keeping the eye closed helps as you've probably found out.
Fortunately the eye is an organ that heals itself fairly rapidly so you should be feeling better tomorrow and see a big improvement in a couple of days.
Just my prognosis. I'm not a doctor but I stayed at a Holiday Inn last night.... |
