A couple of weeks ago I was working in the yard and poked myself in the eye with a stick. I went to an eye doctor and was treated for a cut cornea. According to the eye doctor I have a jagged cut all the way across the cornea.
When can I go to a vision center for an eye exam? I was told that since I cut my cornea with an organic material that the new cells taking the place of the cut on the cornea don't hold as well as the original cells and can become detached somewhat easily.

I'll add more info as Rodney suggested. I've already been to an eye doctor for the cut cornea. I was given an antibiotic eye drop to use for 1 week and was told ot purchase a liquigel eye drop to use for 30 days to help keep the new cornea cells from detaching. I want to get a regular eye exam (I wear glasses) because my prescription is expired and I want new glasses and sunglasses. I'd like to know how long after cutting a cornea must someone wait before getting a regular vision check for new glasses?

corneal cuts heal well with treatment. however, depending on the depth of the cut, they may leave a permanent scar on it.don't put peroxide as someone has suggested you will cause more damage.the photphobia will last about three weeks. then go for the visual test.

G'day Brett,
You seem confused, isn't that the point of going to a Vision Centre? ,....you know,.....For an eye exam?
Maybe you need to clarify your question, maybe like,......
I'm due to have my eyesight checked so I can get my budgerigar pilots license, but I recently received an eye injury to the cornea of my left eye, etc.

BRETT,
REALLY EASY TO ANSWER YOUR QUESTION. CALL THE DR.WHO DID THEOPERATION ON YOUR CORNEA AND ASK HIM DIRECTLY THE EXACT THING YOU WISH TO KNOW. WE HERE ARE JUST NOT QUALIFIED, SORRY
ps: the idea of putting peroxide in your eye is nonsence and a foolish suggestion. DON'T DO THAT!!!

you really need to go to a cornea specialist, they are the only ones that can properly diagnose any problems with the cornea...

First thing is: DO NOT PUT PEROXIDE in your eye. Very wrong answer from joe g.
