[QUOTE="Brandi, post: 2606161, member: 24446"] The thing with eye injuries is it's almost impossible to know if it's a minor or major injury without someone with the training to know the difference looking at it under magnification. My B.I.L. got a "scratch" on his eye during a deer hunt and did what a lot folks do and ignored it. After a week or so it suddenly got much worse inspiring him to seek medical care. Turns out he had a very deep cut on his eye which got infected or something, basically the result of not seeking medical attention when he should have, and came very close to losing his eye. Eye injuries are something I don't mess with, there's just too much to lose by putting professional care off. As an EMT we were trained to cover/protect and immediately seek hospital care for eye injuries because of the potential seriousness. My B.I.L. learned his lesson, he won't go near the woods anymore with safety glasses and neither will I just from the close encounters I've had. Don't take chances with your eyes. [/QUOTE]
