May 24, 200718 yr I did it Monday night. I was breaking down a cardboard box to get it to fit in the garbage can, and it came up and nailed me in the right eye. Tuesday morning it was absolutely excruciating - it wouldn't stay open or stop tearing. I went to the hospital, and they sent me home with a prescription for antibiotic eyedrops and two Percocets (stupid pills). I spent most of Tuesday and yesterday in little to no light. Today is the first day I can tolerate a computer screen without pain. My vision is still blurry and will take a week to heal, so no riding this weekend.
May 24, 200718 yr Gah! It pains me just to read that you scratched your cornea. I hope it heals alright. Feel better.
May 24, 200718 yr Jesus Bro. Sorry. My dad had to go to the Boston Eye & Ear Infirmary once after he had a piece of dirt fall in his eye while we were hiking at the Harrold Parker State Forrest.
May 25, 200718 yr It pains me just to read that you scratched your cornea. I was thinking the same thing. Take it easy and I wish you quick and complete healing.
May 25, 200718 yr I was wondering what was up with you! Sorry to hear about the injury. I was told that I had done the same thing by an ER Doctor once. She was dead wrong as the specialist they sent me to removed a chunk of metal from my eye about an hour later! It was a creepy experience as I heard the thing clink into a metal pan they used for the procedure. I had to drive home with an eye patch and no depth perception. Hurt like hell for quite a while, I hope your recovery is faster.
May 25, 200718 yr I've not had my cornea scratched, but a I have had a couple of pretty serious eye infections and I can definitely say that I know where you are coming from. Also, I agree with Camino, no depth perception sucks.
May 25, 200718 yr Yikes, z28 ... that sounds dreadfully painful . Hope you feel better soon ... thoughts/prayers coming your way....

May 25, 200718 yr When I was young and dumb, I used a weedeater without eye protection and got a piece of vegetation in my eye that scratched my cornea... twice. Yes, it hurts like the dickens. Hope it heals fast, z.
