A member asked:

My cat scratched my eye the white part, and it's a little cut that is red from blood should i go to the er or is saline rinse good enough ?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Go to the ER: I SUGGEST YOU GO TO THE ER AS CAT SCRACH CAN CAUSE INFECTION AND ALSO CAUSE CORNEAL ABRASION WHICH CAN BE CHECKED BY STAINING THE EYE WITH FLEUROSCEINE DYE May need to follow with your doctor or Opthalmologist
