I got GLASS in my EYE! *Graphic Story*

[Venomous Puffer]

Ok so today i was working with glass in my art class when a piece exploded and a shard of glass went into my eye. heres the crazy part... i was wearing goggles....

some how the glass went past my goggles (i dont think i had them on tight enough) and hit me in the eye. I felt the extremely sharp pain and right away i knew what had happened and threw off my goggles to run to flush out my eye. Liquid was pouring out of my eye because it was trying to get the glass out on its own and by this point my eye is totally bloodshot and sharp pain in running through my eye . Eye juice like liquid continues to pour out of my eye and down my hand as I then rushed to urgent care where aparently they dont have the right type of light . so i go to the eye doctor, and at this point ive got a patch over my eye to keep me from moving it and pressing on it and embedding any possible glass remaining in my eye deeper into it.

So i go into the eye doctor with a patch over my eye (this is my good eye by the way, im almost blind in the other)( - what i looked like...cept not smiling at the time lol ) so i walk in using my bad eye, walk into a lamp, almost knock 2 people over, and try to sign in on the sheet. I write my name over like the entire paper and then for the time slot i ask the lady working at the desk what time it is... do you know what this smart ass bitch does? SHE POINTS AT THE FUCKING CLOCK!!! lol i almost punched her i swear to god.

so i get in and they numb my eye with these beastly ass eye drops that also dialate my eyes and numb my tongue (dont ask cause i dunno why my tongue got numbed also) and then my eye gets flushed out for like the 4th time today and he scans it with this weird ass light that allows for like a huge magnification or sumtin and he started looking for glass. The glass got flushed out cause all that was left was a ton of scratches on my eye. So basically he told me that the eye heals quick but for about the next day or 2, once the numbness wears off (45 minutes after he gave it to me) that it would feel the same as when i had the glass in my eye.

so the numbness wears off and sure enough the sharp pain continues except this time worse. i got home and put some eye drops in and then went to sleep for a few hours. i wake up and it feels totally better for a few hours and now it is starting to hurt again but luckily not nearly as bad as it did before.

Moral of the story - Glass in the eye = Not fun... very painful.... very very painful lol.
my advice - Dont get glass in your eye...dont trust goggles

holy shit lol today was soooo much fun

UPDATE: It turns out I still have glass in my eye somewhere. I went home Wednesday and still was having the sharp pains and they continued on through today. I went back to the eye doctor and the scratches he saw on Wednesday were healed, but there were new scratches today meaning that there is still glass in my eye. He looked for it and still couldn't find it and they had to swap behind my eye. The fucking guy was jamming this rod like behind my eye... so painful. still... couldnt find any glass but the scratches were there to prove it.

So with no luck they sent me home and basically told me to continue putting eye drops in and to continue to irrigate it in attempts to flush it out. I am supposed to go back Monday if the glass can't get out at which time they will probably knock me out to look more closely around for the glass.

[Heinous Anus]

Holy shit dude, I had that once. I got a tiny piece of glass, and closed my eyelid on instinct. Holy hell, did that hurt...like someone stuff a piece of sandpaper in there.

Had to get it flushed and everything.

I feel for you, man. Feel better, and this bowl is for you!

Damn bro....that sucks! that shit must've hurt! I was talking w my mom the other day and she was telling me some stories...and I remember that one time on X-mas eve when we didn't have alot of cash my mom and I pitched in and got my little bro his X-mas gifts...but we didn't have any for us...so my little bro wakes up in the middle of the night sees us wrapping his like 3 gifts and runs at us and scratched my mom right in the eye...she was blind in the left eye for like 3 weeks...it scratched past the lens and the retina or whatever...crazy shit man get better

You're one unlucky motherfucker, V-puff. At least your still alive right?



I got a face full of metal grindings before.

That ain't fun -- if you don't get them out fast enough, they start to rust on your eyeball.

[Tootsie ~ blue]

^ew...rusty eyeballs....

That was a horrifying story..the idea of getting anything in my eye completely freaks me out...I cant even stand to watch people putting contacts in...
I hope you recover soon and your eye feels better..the body is an amazing thing and i'm sure you'll heal up quickly.

[stickyone13]

i had the same thing happen, rasta. it was like 7pm, so i had to go to the ER. by the time i finally got in there 5 hours later, the doctor was like, "it's starting to rust. that's not good. why didn't you come in sooner?" i damn near ripped his face off. i didn't realize that shit could rust that fast, but apparently, in your eye, it can.

OP, that sucks real bad. i hear marijuana's good for eye pain.

[TokinMartian]

Mmmmmm eye juice =D

[h4rk4t]

damn that sucks, i remember this one time back in 11th or 12th grade cant remember but this dumbass kid thought it would be to start slapping waving a paperin my face....i then reached to grab his arm to stop and he quickly jerked away but accidentally swiped the side against my right eye..... very painfull....due to that paper cut my left eye see's colors alightly....more dark and is a little more buryy...

I can't even notice cause their both always open and combine both views to create the one image so the colors jsut blend and everything looks normal....but if i close one eye at a time its slightly noticeable if looking at something with shadow and white.

Not as bad as getting glass in your eye though, damn i would hate for that; i just hate the feeling of something poking you in the eye all the time cause its just so irritating.

[Tbika]

Jesus man, thats one hell of a story.

Sent chills down my spine.

I really cant imagine what that must feel like. I probably would have been rubbing my eye if that happened to me and probably fuck up my eyes permenantly.

Good luck with the recovery.

[Venomous Puffer]

thanks for the replies guys, im cringing at the rusty metal in the eye haha that sounds bad too.

but yea rm your right lol, im unlucky as fuck... but im still here. and i can take a piss. lol everytime i get some weird medical problem the first thing i think is "well atleast i can still take a piss" ... lol if i ever get a UTI im so fucked... "well atleast i can.... i can..... hmmmm....."
