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.
