Brief Answer:
Is she in pain? It the eye swollen?

Detailed Answer:
Hi and thank you so much for this query.

I am so sorry to hear about this prick to the eye that your wife has suffered. I will like to know if she is in pain. Also, let me know if the eye is swollen or not. If possible, please upload an image of this pricked eye for review.

Unless she is in severe pains or the eye is swollen, there is really no need to panic. A pain drug such as Tylenol of Ibuprofen would be able to relief any discomfort. However, I will provide more insights and helpful recommendations once I hear back from you on the above requested further details.

I hope this helps. I wish you well. Feel free to ask for more information and clarifications if need be. Above all, thanks for using our services.
