Healing for my eye

[Earthy]

Please send healing,my cat scratched me in the eye last night and i have been in agony.
I have been to the hospital today and they said i've got a corneal abration,but the scratch is superficial, it should heal within a couple of days...but the pain is unbearable at the moment,and doing things with one eye closed is not easy!
So any pain relief thoughts would be very much appreciated.

Can I ask what the docs at the hospital did for you, or recommended you do for yourself? (like wearing an eye patch for a day or so)


This site has some good advice: http://www.goaskalice.columbia.edu/2459.html



It's important to see a health care provider or ophthalmologist as soon as possible after receiving a corneal abrasion, preferably within 24 hours, since untreated eye injuries can become seriously infected and may threaten your vision. Until you get yourself checked out, avoid the activity that caused the abrasion. If you think your eye's hurting from a contact lens, don't put the lens in again until a health care provider says it's okay to do so.
With the right treatment, corneal abrasions usually heal quickly, within 1 - 3 days, and are generally easy to deal with. A health care provider or ophthalmologist may first use harmless, fluorescent-staining eye drops and a special light to look for scratches. After examining you, s/he can remove any foreign objects remaining in the eye and prescribe treatments, including:

antibiotic eye drops or ointment to prevent infection
medicine to dilate the pupil and promote healing
a temporary eye-patch to shield the cornea and minimize irritationWhile some of these treatments may be available over-the-counter, make sure you see a health-care provider or eye-expert rather than attempt to treat yourself.
The health care provider might also suggest wearing sunglasses with ultraviolet (UV) light protection, to help minimize any discomfort while the cornea heals and/or to cover an eye-patch, if this is preferred.
