An Urgent One For Sqad

[KARL]

I was chiselling a stone and a small/tiny fragment hit my eye before the reflex kicked in. Apologies for the limited presence of medical terms but hopefully you can picture the situation.

The impact point seems to have been close to the caruncula but just inboard onto the white. The result is a pouch filled with blood which is wholly contained within the outermost membrane (my observation), there is no bleeding from the eye as such. This pouch stops at the edge of the cornea but does continue slightly around the outside of it beyond the tangent point to begin to encircle the cornea. My vision is unaffected apart from small focus related issues which I would put down to unequal pressure around the lens and cornea.

I am currently remote from medical attention and am only concerned about any possibility of lasting effects on my vision. Would it be reasonable to assume that, like other accident injuries, this blood will gradually (how long ?) be absorbed and all traces will eventually disappear with no lasting effect. Thus any doctor would advise simply to go home and wait ?

Sums me up nicely Allenlonden.

Should I drag up some of your replies to answerbank posts?

Probably not.
