15 days? Bloody eyes? Glass?

I would have been in to an ophthalmologist within 12 hours of that accident. I dunno how worker's comp works, but you only get two eyes and it doesn't take much to wreck em.

Call your doctor, explain the problem, let the legal system figure it out from there. You get yourself to the experts though. No amount of money via worker's comp and such is worth the loss of your eye sight.

You have to take responsibility for your own health and eyesight. Call tomorrow and try to get in to see an ophthalmologist as an emergency. Find one at www.aao.org
