A member asked:
After a scratched cornea. what will happen to your sight?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Mostly nothing: Most corneal scratches, after healing, will cause no visual problems if there was secondary infection, or if the scratch was central and healed improperly, and was very deep, then the sight might become distorted or diminished.
