Can a scratched cornea cause blurred vision?

Answer by  Sett (1838)

Yes, if you scratch your cornea some of the symptoms are blurred vision and pain in the eye like something is inside your eye socket. The cornea is the fastest healing tissue in the body though, so with some eye drops from the doctor the cornea will heal in time.

Blurred vision can be a symptom of a scratched cornea, along with tearing, headaches and moderate pain. It can also be a symptom of many other conditions, some of which can be very serious. In most cases, cornea abrasions can be treated by a doctor with simple eye drops or an ointment.

Yes, a scratched cornea can cause blurred vision. You have to be careful you don't get an infection too, so keep your eye really clean and see an eye doctor if your blurred vision or pain persist.

Yes, a scratched cornea can also cause blurred vision as well as sensitivity to light and eye redness. This can be caused by extensive contact use or pieces of debris.

Yes, and depending on where the scratch is you can even lose your sight. Corneal abrasion can be very painful, water alot, and be very sensitive to light.

Yes, a scratch on your cornea can definitely cause blurred vision but if this was the cause of your blurred vision you'd probably also have some pain and redness as well.
