I was diagnosed with a corneal abrasion, given antibiotic drops and an eye-patch, and became a laughing stock at medical school for the next week.
For those who wear contacts which are too tight, the risks include swelling of the cornea, redness or corneal abrasion.
Debris in the eye can lead to corneal abrasions, which can ultimately damage your vision.
With the use of blue light, the fluorescein defect of a corneal abrasion may be more pronounced and will appear yellow-green (shown).
If left untreated, it may lead to corneal abrasions, corneal scarring, microbial keratitis, and loss of vision.
