Default nothing quite like a sharp stick in the eye

Unfortunately my wife leaned onto/into a stick while getting firewood and although I can't see any damage, it's uncomfortable for her.

She had cataract surgery and is afraid she may have dislodged the lense.

Off to the eye doctor in the morning, hope it's not bad. Please say a prayer or good thoughts for her.

Jeff

Mary's eye is fine, turned out to be a minor abrasion

Depending on long she had surgery, today the lenses once “grown in” are really strong, some say better than nature.

But I’m not fighting it either... good luck to misses

Prayer out for no damage and wife's comfort. I did the same thing a month ago.
I actually saw the twig growing larger just before it hit and not enough time
to pull aside.

Have heard the same thing, my left lens was replaced years ago but I hope to never test the theory

Luckily eyes tend to heal very quickly, here’s hoping it’s only a minor injury that eyedrops can take care of

Any eye injury though tends to make one feel miserable, so Mary has my thoughts and prayers

Tell Morgan the Dog to stay close to Mama while she heals

I hope there is no lasting damage, just a quick fix and be done.

Next time, try to use galvanized metal, so you won't get the rust rings.

Mary got in to the eye doctor late in the day. It's just a minor abrasion and it's already started to heal. Dr Posner was very happy with how it started to heal and prescribed antibiotic eye drops and an over the counter sauve to help promote healing of the eye tissue itself.

Thank you everyone for the prayers and well wishes. I am extremely thankful and also glad it wasn't serious.

~~~~~~~~~~~

Will's Eye Hospital is one of the top ranked eye centers as Engalf mentioned. I'm not sure if it's at Will's but Dr Posner teaches in Phila. He did both Mary's eyes for cataract surgery. Both turned out great.
