Take it off when your eye feels better. I'm talking like don't leave it on there for weeks! LOL Some people do that and the other eye just takes over. I'm sure in a couple of days at the most, you'll be screaming to take it off and get back to normal, till then just take care of it.
Oh, btw, keep your thumb out of your eye! LOL
Just kidding SV!Jazzy

> Hm, I went to the ER. They said if it's very bad, they refer the patient to an eye doc, but in my case they didn't, so the nurse said it probably isn't too serious. I do still have the patch on, she just said to take it off at my discretion. Should I take it off? Would keeping it on be worse? Why? I figure it helps to keep it closed and to keep the ointment from leaking out (I have to put in antiobiotic ointment on a few times a day, too keep it from infection)....?
> No, I dont wear contacts, thankfully. That would be worse! I injured it the "old fashioned" idiot way, by banging myself in the eye with my thumb. :-/
