Is is possible to bruise your eyeball?!


Question: Is is possible to bruise your eyeball.?
I don't mean like a black eye but the actual white of your eye.

I got a wallop on the eye earlier from an elbow and it stings when I blink or touch it at all and there's like two small brown smudges that look like bruises on the white bit. The person was wearing a wool jacket at the time so it may just be a scratch from that. Health Question & Answer


Answers:
It sounds like a burst blood vessel, although painful, they will not cause any long term damage but if you feel better, see an optician. I've had a couple of them, I got poked in the eye with a plastic cocktail stick once.Health Question & Answer

you should seriously go to the optomitrist to get it checked out...it could be eye cancer.

even if it was a scratch you could go blind.
