dear dr. mike

I WAS SCRATCHED IN THE EYE BY MY NEW KITTEN OF EIGHTS OLD
I THOUGHT IT WAS GOING TO BE OK BUT THE EYE IS BOTHERING ME AND MY
VISION SEEMS TO BE A BIT BLURRED DO YOU THINK THERE IS ANY THING TO
WORRY ABOUT THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME

Hello,

I think that you could have a corneal abrasion. That means the the outer surface
of your eye has a scratch on it. It is very important to find out if this is
what it is because, you may need antibiotic eye drops and even steroid drops to
prevent further damage. You should have it checked out immediately.

Hope that helps. Dr. Mike
