Medical Conditions - Corneal Scratching

Corneal scratching is when the cornea goes through a cut, scratch, or scrape. Tree branches, makeup brushes, and fingernails are some common culprits causing corneal scratching. Eye pain, blurry vision, photosensitivity, and redness in the eye are the common symptoms. The common treatment options are moisturizing eye drops, eye patches, and special eye drops to dilate pupils.

Due to scratch, white part of eye is with some blood. What to do?

Hello, Welcome to icliniq.com. How did you get this? Because of the bleeding, the depth of the wound could not be perceived. If it is not severe enough just with bleeding there is not much problem.
