A member asked:

I've injured my eye and it bothers me, what to do?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Get evaluation: Any eye injury should be examined by your ophthalmologist, especially if the eye is penetrated, or the vision is down, or there are signs of infection or if you think there was any risk such as the use of high speed tools and machinery. You say it bothers you; this might be all you need to get it checked out
