Dad dx'd w/corneal abrasion & hyphema after accidentally hit in eye. dr. rx'd tobradex, atropine drops, alphagan drops and pain med. how long to heal?

Dad's doctor's help: This is a question best asked to the treating doctor. When you go to see a doctor(your dad in this case), that is the first question which should be raised....that is the reason for his visit. But my guess is it should heal in 2-3 weeks. Usually the pain goes away first, that means it is healing well and should be healed in 1-2 weeks.
