Bug eye

A huge fly with a fuzzy body, and little clawas on it's legs hit me dead center in the eyeball several weeks ago, and now it is constantly inflamed and I get headaches, and have chronic eye pain.

I went to an opthamologist, and they said it destroyed the tear layer of that eye?  They said they could not see debri or anything else major wrong with the eye.  So I suffer.

Get a second opinion from a different Eye MD. Your eye should be getting better and less inflammed with little pain. Find a second opinion at www.aao.org   When you go on ask them to "flip my upper eyelid" to be sure no bug parts are stuck under the upper lid.
