That is terrible, I certainly hope mine does heal quick. Did they put a contact in for you? |
They did initially in fact I was in Canada on a motorcycle trip when it tore open, ended up in Vermont at a Univ. hospital on July 4th. Head eye doc was called in and treated it, he was not too comfortable with my resuming the trip with the contact. I had to agree to see an eye doc within days and get the eye rechecked. Had that done in PA. The doc that saw me had done his fellowship at the U of Iowa and when he found out I was from the Iowa City area he said no charge, he liked Iowans. It still took a long time to heal, when I tore mine I swore I had blinded myself for life, a clamp slipped in my shop and headed directly into my eye. I was wearing safety glasses at the time but they did no good. Best wishes to you !!
