Be careful mofos!

My worst? not working on a car but at work a piece of metal 2mm by 3mm going straight through my right eye. Ruined my lense and a whole word of pain id love to forget
How is your eye doing now? Have you got normal sight again? My eye is still badly blurred and I cant see anything properly.

i will never see anything properly again, i have an artifical lense now. But my left eye is still 100%. My right eye is about 60-70% i'd say. The lense has a fixed focus so u can either see it properly or it's blurred. They told me my lense is set up for long sight. Reading glasses help on the computer but i don't need them or glasses in general, and i don't wear any either. But i'm very lucky to have any sight out of it at all! As the metal piece was very close to my optic nerve and if u damage that there is very little they can do.

Have u bruised yours? seems that way. Eyes are very very fragile.

I had to have 2 operations both under a general. Plus 7 days odd at morefield eye hospital in c.london. plus all the check ups to get where i am!

I hope yours will be ok, i know what it must feel like. Sight to me is the most important sense!

Sounds nasty but as you say at least you can see from it still. I just hope mine is bruised and nothing worse. Its really annoying though as I cant focus properly on anything.

just keep it clean as infections are bad news.

Doctors told me it's nearly unheard of to go through what i did with out catching one. As the injury was mis diagnosed at my local A&E. So it was in there for 6 days before it was removed.

What did the doctor tell u?

They put dye in my eye to see if there were any scratches and then shined a light in it. They said it seemed ok but to get it checked out at the eye clinic at the hospital if it gets any worse.
Im a bit of a hypercondriac though when it comes to things like this and always fear the worst.
