Do I need to go see an eye doctor?

by garmkris, May 13, 2008 07:42AM
My son and I were playing this morning and his finger ran across my eye, causing a sharp pain and burning. It's been 2 hours now and it still hurts and my vision is blurry in that eye.  Do I need to go see a doctor or will this go away?

I went to the Eye Doctor after reading your suggestion and you were right. Deep Corneal abrasion to my left eye. Doc said if I hadn't have come in, infection would have occurred and damage following. Thanks so much for your help!!!
