How will it take to heal corneal laceration ?
Hi, I am male 23 year old. I recently had a corneal laceration while playing. The ball hit directly and broke my eye glasses. The doctor sutured the lacerated cornea with stitches and has put me on eye drops. Its been a week now and I still have blurry vision in the injured eye. I don't expect such fast recovery but how long can it take ?
Can any one tell me if I will ever become normal or at least chances of being with normal vision again ? The doctor says it will be recovered but can take up to 2 to 3 months.

There is no way to give you an accurate answer. It depends on how deep the laceration was, how large it is, how big of a scar it leaves and whether it is over your pupil. It will probably be 6-12 months before you know for sure. Your best source of information is your surgeon.
