have i perminantly damaged my eye?
ok well 4 days ago i was removing a rear bumper on a golf, some fiddly clips that need leavering out it popped out and hit me right in the eye at force, dont know weather my eye was open or not, naturally painfull and watery as hell. very uncomfterble that evening due to scratched i spose,covered eye went to bed next day pain had gone result, but
my eyesight is terrible, even now im typing this on my laptop i cannot read it, seing that it was my dominant eye i damaged, my left eye allways was weaker but my right perfect, and now im screwed lol
for some reason its worse in morning and slightly better as the day goes on???
yes i know should of gone to eys hospital but im awful for it, as predicted next day feel fine, but its just my sight thats getting no better, ok yes if it carries on ill have to pop into the docs and find out just what damage i have done.
it does seem when involves bright light its worse
what are my chances ?

I wouldnt be too worried, last friday I took a bad fall and slapped my face on the floor damaging half of my face lol. My eye was buggered all week but can just about see normally without any fuzzyness now. Although in all honesty I think I might have done some damage to my eye socket but it'll heal fine on its own, dont need a doctor to tell me its damaged and do nothing to help it heal.
Either way, hope your ok

Get it checked out mate. I once knew a lad that got a paper cut on his eye, He got sum drops for it and it healed ok in the end. Yes i did say paper cut and yes it was caused by a sheet of paper, idiot.

how about going and seeing a doctor instead of asking a car BBS. who a do not have a great deal of medical training (in most cases) and b cannot look at your eye to asses.
Come on, it is your eyesight you are talking about, not cracking your finger with a hammer!
Go see a doc now!

Don't wait! Get there now!!
You may simply require drops that will prevent you from getting an infection.
Believe me, if I told you about some afflictions that otherwise healthy eyes can suffer from (e.g. people who wear contact lenses without being strict enough about their cleaning etc) then you'd not hesitate!
They won't hurt you, get it sorted!

Are you a muppet, go to casualty. If you have done some damage and are making it worse by not seeking treatment, then you'll feel pretty sorry for yourself if you cant see clearly again, and risk losing the ability to work, drive, go out generally and of course, oggle birds!

I put a screwdriver into my eye when trying to prise something and it slipped, went to the hospital after a few days to get it checked. Nurse gave me an utter bollocking as there could have been dirt there to cause an infection.
Go.
Go.

You'll probably get sent to the eye hospital or similar, they might say "Sorry but youre going to lose that eye, pity you didnt come on Friday when you did it. we could have saved it then"
Mind you the pirate look is in, so an eye patch for the rest of your life might look cool! Attract the girls.
Also eyes work in pairs (no kidding) so it is possible due to injury to one to lose sight in both eyes

Mone got scratched 18 months ago, and still hurts, depite a (very uncomfortable) operation, and lots of eye cream.
Get it checked, stop being a wimp

Go to the Eye Hospital !
I ended up with a really nasty corneal ulcer, I was removing an air brick and it came out complete with a pretty manky birds nest, dust, ****, feathers etc, it went in my eyes, I had lenses in, I washed my face and got back to work but noticed some grittiness, I just put up with it and rubbed it, took the lenses out when I had finished and noticed some crud on them, had a shower, went to bed and woke up with horrendous pain from my eye, tried to put up with it, took painkillers but it got worse.
Went to the eye hospital and got told I had developed the ulcer, was given drops and a patch, had to sit in a darkened room as it was agonising to go into light, no telly, no reading.
It didnt affect my sight but it could have done if I had left it longer, which I couldnt as it was very very painful.
Opticians always ask about it when they scan my eye as there is quite noticeable (to the optician) scar tissue.
So dont mess about, get it seen to.

Apples, seriously go, with my ulcer (not entirely related to your case but there is a moral) If I dont go to the hospital for treatment, I can get multiple infections. My eyesight in my right eye has marginally been affected but thankfully not enough to stop me from driving etc
If it is still being affected by light days after then there is something wrong
