Unfortunately I left work early today because I kept feeling like something was in my eye. Fortunately I was able to get myself an emergency eye doctor appointment today also. I scratched my cornea apparently I have no idea how or when but I cannot focus my vision to read posts on the website comfortably so I hope to be back by Sunday the latest! she said within 24-48 hours I should start feeling better, she put me on antibiotic eye drops so I don't get an infection and also over-the-counter eye drops as well

Oh, I hope you feel better soon. Has your cockatiel been around your eyes? I saw someone posted about a cockatiel grooming her eyebrows. I don't think it was you, but I'm just wondering. I hope you don't mind my asking.

I think that was Sarah or me. With how fast the eye can shut, it wouldn't give Pepper or Pirate enough time to hurt the eye. It feels like a little pinch on the lid of the eye though.

A scratched cornea is usually caused by a piece of grit in the eye: a grain of sand or a bit of dust that rubs and rubs each time you blink. Damage caused to the eye by a bird would be a great deal more severe if it were to happen, but I have never heard of a parrot beaking someone in the eye before they could blink or recoil.

Thank you all! I've been slowly feeling better all day today. The morning was awful but it's slowly getting better! No Diana, it wasn't from Lucy (she's never near my face really) What I think caused it was I probably had a lash in my eye, and I was rubbing my eyes on the shoulder of my work shirt, and the work shirts are like waffle shirts so the material is rough. Either that did it or when I used napkins to wipe my eye did it Still not 100% but definitely getting better. Thank God my boyfriend can home this weekend. I can't drive since I can't keep my eye fully open and I'd rather be safe than sorry. He's been driving me around all weekend
