Cornea Injury
Tags: cornea, damaged
Hello,
I am 17 and I had a cornea injury to one eye caused by a thorn some 6 weeks ago. The thorn was removed from the infected cornea 5 days after the accident.There is not infection present but vision is significantly blurred.
I would like to know what the chances are that the scar dissapears completely and my good vision is restored.
What should I do to speed up the healing process and what should I avoid?
Thank you for your consideration of these questions, May.

Nothing to avoid and no treatment to speed up recovery. This may not fully recover good vision and you may need a corneal transplant.
