    The most painful experience of my life was a scratched cornea. I leaned down on a corner piece of cardboard and I felt it scratch my eye. It didn't hurt until 8 hours later when I rinsed my eye out with water. (I thought a piece of dirt was in my eye). After the water was my eye felt like it had a knife cut on it.
    I woke up Saturday in horrible pain.and my eye was sealed shut. I.went to the ER and they put some kind of drops in it and I felt like I was in heaven. The pain stopped....but they said only for a couple of hours. The eye can't heal if you keeping putting the drops in.
    I went to the ER again on Sunday because the pain wouldn't stop even if I closed my eye. Eventually the pain subsided after using ointment for a couple days.
    I've broken bones, had a bruised rib, etc....but nothing compares to this eye injury. There's nothing you can do to stop the pain....you just got to wait it out.

      I scratched my cornea 3 times
      First time : it was at the swimming pool those rubber swimming "helpers" i don't know their name hit me in the eye HARD
      Second time : i was joking with a friend then he kinda slipped and put his finger directly into my eye
      Third time : i was playing soccer and i shot the ball in to a wall and it came back to me fast
      Oh and by the way i'm replying to you with a scratched cornea right now :(

    this happened to me, and the best thing to to is hold a paper towel rinsed with hot water against your eye, this made my eye feel better in 1 day, though my vision was still blurry, once you have slept, wait a while, and dont be afraid to open your scratched eye.
