scratched cornea
Scraped eye surface
A scratched cornea is an abrasion on the clear outer layer of the eye, typically caused by contact with fingernails, dust, sand, or contact lenses.
The injury is painful and makes the eye sensitive to light, watery, and red.
Most scratches heal within a few days without permanent damage: The doctor said my scratched cornea should clear up by Monday.
