A member asked:

What can happen if my son poked his eye?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Variable: This could range from a simple eye pain with no findings to a traumatic hemorrhage in the eyeball that would require bed rest & possible eye surgery. Some kids will actually penetrate the eye with a foreign object that would require removal & repair.

Dr Luviano and another doctor agreed
