I have eye problem - scratched cornea?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Corneal abrasion: A scratched cornea is called a corneal abrasion. Typically an object rubs off the surface layer of the cornea, causing immediate eye pain, redness, and blurred vision. Care should usually be sought from an ophthalmologist. Most abrasions heal quickly.
