On a plus point I had an eye test last week and he asked if I had every had an eye injury. So I explained one in the pupil and 2 in the iris both in the left eye. He had a lengthy look and could find no scaring so the eye must be pretty good at repairing itself.

A nasty infection but hopefully nothing lasting.

 

Made me laugh when the little foreign lady said ' I get it out with needle, don't worry, i do this many time' LOL

 

Then she got it out and dropped it in my eye and had to spend 5 mins searching for it...

 

I really hate hospitals! I still love the Mini though

Eyes are so precious, I only use one eye now as did something similar but alot worse, actually cut my eye open, they ended up taking the lense out my left eye, saved the eye but my brain doesn't use it anymore only my right eye.  Took 5 years of having double vision before my brain finally cut the left eye off!!!  For the sake of eye protection it's well worth wearing some.

Oh my god John, that is terrible!

 

My eye is feeling no better yet but i guess it needs a few days to fix itself. 

 

I have slept all day!!

 

I am so glad i didn't leave it and i have people here nagging me to go in. Was a but scary that my lift to the hospital can't see very well in the dark, he was all over the road, swearing that he couldn't see a thing. I am a terrible passenger at the best of times!
