Changing the oil on the other halves car recently got two eyefuls of dislodged road crud drop down on me whilst removing the underside valance. Went inside and got my safety glasses.

 

Horse, bolted, stable door.

 

Get well soon Stubby. Try some salt water eye baths, helps reduce infection but does sting a tad.

After many occasions of getting bits embedded in my eyes (from being flicked in the eye by twigs and grinding rust from old cars) I developed a condition called "reoccurring corneal erosion". Basically I had scar tissue on the front of my eye, over night it would stick to my eye lid, in the morning I opened my eye pulling the front off my cornea.

 

It was very painful and unpleasant!!

 

I put antibiotic ointment in my eye every evening for 6 weeks which sorted it.

 

This happened to me also, after I walked into a twig on a hedge i was dragging to. Didn't think much of it at the time but the following morning was just as you say and it recurred for a long time after each time I wasn't careful when waking up.

Spent many times in A&E to get object's removed from eyes. Mostly when I have raised vizer and then got dust in eye or a clout from a twig.

I always keep a good mirror with magnification in truck to get a good look at eye when it first happens.

Best of luck hope it gets better.

Hitting your own eyeball with a cum shot at your age is pretty impressive.

You should stop whinging, put an eye patch on and run round shouting 'ahoy me hearties!'.
