My child hit me in my open eye. I had PRK 20 days ago and my vision is still blurry quite a bit. It really hurts now! Am I okay?

Question

I think she hit my cornea when she accidentally hit my open eye. My eye definitely feels more painful than before she hit me.

Gregory H. Scimeca, MD · Answer

You may have developed a corneal surface epithelial defect from getting hit in the eye. This could have happen from the trauma alone, even if you didn't have PRK. You should be examined by you eye doctor to determine whether the eye was injured.
