deep laceration can cause corneal ulcer. eye doctor should see whether the ulcer is healed or other wise. watering means corneal ulcer is still active. staining can be done to confirm active ulcer. it can be confirmed by slit lamp examination. apply ofloxacin eye drop .3% drop 6 hourly. use dark glass.can take nasid for 5 days.have repeated check till ulcer is healed.can take second opinion
