A member asked:

Yesterday i got a corneal abrasion. now the pain and sensitivty is lessened, but my vision is significantly more blurry. is this normal?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Common: Especially if the abrasion is located in the center, there is edema and distortion until the healing is finished. If distortion persists, see an ophthalmologist for evaluation.

Dr Witlin and another doctor agreed
