Poked in the eye

[neutralizer]

So I got poked in the eye by a finger by accident. It's in the sclera (the white part). It doesn't hurt and there's no change in my vision as far as I can tell. But there's a bit of blood where my eye got poked. Should I be concerned?

Put some ice on it to reduce swelling/bleeding. If it happend more than a few hours ago, don't bother.

If the pain continues, go to the doctor. Especially if you notice a change in your vision. Years ago, I got punched in the eye and the ENTIRE white part was red. I looked like some freak demon. The doctor checked my eyes and said "The red should go away in a month or so. That'll be $50, please." :roll:

That's about it.

I've been poked in the eye pretty hard a few times & I've never seen any blood as a result of any of them so I certainly would be.

There's no pain and no swelling as far as I can tell.

Yeah, I remember seeing this happen to a few people back in middle school after fights, etc. It does look a bit odd, but as far as I know, they were told the same thing.

Heh okay. I know I was overworrying, but injuries to our eyes, our most important sense organ, just shouldn't be taken so lightly.

:thumbsup: What eits said. This used to happen to me all the time, as a kid. More black eyes and eye pokes than I can count. I always sent the other guy home worse off than me. Mom used to put steak on my shiners. I was a real rumbler...picking fights just for sport.

The real question is: What cut of steak did she use?
