Corneal Abrasion Symptoms

You should suspect a corneal abrasion if you have sustained an injury to your eye. Some of the symptoms you may experience are:

• A sensation of a foreign body in the eye (for example, a feeling that there is something in your eye that you cannot get out). This feeling sometimes develops a few hours later rather than immediately after the apparent injury.

• Tearing of the eyes

• Blurred vision or distortion of vision

• Eye pain when exposed to a bright light

• Spasm of the muscles surrounding your eye causing you to squint
