Corneal Abrasion

Corneal abrasions heal quickly and the pain should be much less in 24 to 36 hours. Usually your eyesight will not be permanently affected.

Home Treatment:

• If your doctor gives you some eye medicine, be sure to take it as directed.
• If your doctor patches your eye, don't take the patch off until your doctor tells you to.
• If you vision gets worse or if the pain continues, return to your physician.
• Corneal abrasions require medical follow up. Be sure to keep your return appointment.
