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.

You don't remember how it happened?

X2???

I was prepared to post something quite different when I read the title.:giggling:

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.

No idea how I did it. Woke up this way.

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

Re: There's something in my eye
 

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.

Sounds painful, get well soon.

Re: There's something in my eye
 

Forget the stupid eye drops. Grab a nail, screwdriver, or whatever and just pluck the spec out.

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:crying:

Does it look like this?

Re: There's something in my eye
 

Hey Adam,

I know how you did it. I have done the exact same - woke up and my eye was messed up. Doc said I scratched it while asleep on either the edge of the pillow case or by rubbing it while I slept.
I somehow do this about once a month, sleep with eyes open.

I "knew" a chick once that slept with her eyes kind of open. Needless to say, she had a very short shelf life.:jump:

Re: There's something in my eye
 

Wow. You guys are worthless. Lots of stories, some good chops, but no advice. Damn. JK.

Gotta go now. Eye drops every 2 hours.

Re: There's something in my eye
 

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?

Re: There's something in my eye
 

Adam. Try not to scratch your cornea again. It really hurts and there isn't much you can do about it......:)

You know, when I need medical advice or emotional counseling I usually go to Hummer forum filled with whackos too.
