A member asked:
I was accidentaly poked in my eye by a child. it is only a small area on the white of the eyes that is bleeding. how long will it take to heal?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
2-3 weeks: I would count on two to three weeks, depending on how deep the scratch is and if it gets infected. Total healing time is usually given to be 6 weeks, but 2-3 weeks until it looks pretty good.
