A week and a half ago I walked into our small greenhouse, turned around,
and straight into our tall Oleander, a leaf of which went up inside my
glasses and stabbed me in the eye.
To cut a very long story short after two days it got bad such that it was
very light sensitive and painful and the "Walk in Centre" (not local!) I
went to said I had scratched the cornea. Turns out their treatment was
incorrect because of the depth of the cut and I now have had to see a
local eye surgeon three times this week because it has ulcerated. Three
lots of eye drops to take. Only now am I able to look at a PC screen or
any light although my vision is still blurred in the right eye. Still
can't drive.

My Surgeon says if you get something like that in your eye go to Hospital
ASAP for a checkup (and try to see an eye surgeon) don't wait for it to
get worse, with eyes it's better safe that sorry!


Blimey Bob, I don't like the sound of that. Back in the summer I turned
round near one of the water butts and got the tapered end of a cable tie in
my eye, fortunately it went between the eyeball and the eyelid, nothing near
as nasty as yours. A salutary lesson to cut the ends off I suppose.

Anyway, best wishes for a full recovery.
