Hi
Thanks for choosing HealthcareMagic.
A corneal abrasion is one of the most common eye injuries. A scratched cornea often causes significant discomfort and distorted vision.However its not necessary that all symptoms are present in every person.. Corneal abrasions result from a disruption or loss of cells in the top layer of the cornea, called the corneal epitheliumThe size of a corneal abrasion usually determines the time it will take to heal. Small, uncomplicated abrasions usually heal in two to three days, whereas larger abrasions that affect more than half of the surface area of the cornea may take four to five days.However a slit lamp eaxamination along with physical examination should be done to rule out the possibilities of corneal abrasion.Vision test and ultra sound of eye should be done to rule out any possible retinal injury.If possibile kindly attach few photos of the effected eyeand contact an optalmologist in person for detailed examination.
