Oh yes, Linda, I have done the very same thing to my eye! One morning getting ready for work and just lost a grip of my curling iron and it goes right into my eye. I immediately knew that I had done something very bad and called my husband into the room. I called my opthalmologist and they told me to come in right away. My doctor took pictures of my eye and told me I had a pretty good burn (and it was to my left eye that I had previously had surgery on). He didn't patch it but gave me plenty of medicine to put in it to prevent infection. I remember when the blister broke and I had to put those drops in my eye I would scream because it hurt so bad. I missed about three days of work. I could hardly keep my eyes open and mostly laid around on the couch doing nothing. I was wishing that my doctor had put a patch on it because since that eye hurt so bad, I had a difficult time keeping my other eye open.
I told my doctor to please tell me that I wasn't the first one to have done such a stupid thing and he just laughed. I guess they have seen all sorts of accidents.
Isn't it nice to know that you're not the only one to have gone through this?

). A week later, I still have some blurring and am experiencing headaches. I'm sure this is all normal. The opthalmologist said there will be no permanent damage, and I am not the first woman to have done this.
