Hello around 4pm today my husband got burnt in the eye with a lit cigarete, the lit part flew off someones cigarette and hit him in his left eye he felt the glowing orange ember go into his eye. It is very sore and blurred. Although since 4pm until around 11:30 his eye stayed very blurry and painful about the last 40 minutes he's telling me its not as blurry.I don't know if I bel;ieve him. What should we do? Thank You Debra
