A member asked:
Do you think i can go blind after a poke to the eye with a pen?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes: Depends on the level of trauma. A pen can rupture the globe, cause a retinal tear or detachment, create retinal swelling, as well as many other potential problems. Blunt trauman injuries sucha as this require immediate examination.
