How To Treat Eye Injury?

On Sunday i got a metal hanger hooked into the corner of my eye. It was bleeding and swelling. I went to the eye doctor the next day and he gave me a steroid eye drop and said i would start seeing improvement. Well today it started bleeding way more than it has and i still have semi blurred vision and it still hurts. What should I do

Ophthalmologist 's  Response
Hello
Welcome to Health care magic.

I reviewed your history. It seems from the history that you had injury to the corner of the eye. This requires treatment by the use of antibiotics. Steroids are reserved for severe cases which are associated with inflammation.
Since you are having blurring of vision examination of the eye is required to rule out injury to cornea and other intraocular structures.

Hence I advice you to consult your ophthalmologist for examination and treatment accordingly.

Hope this is helpful to you.
Thank you
