A scratched eye or corneal abrasion are uncomfortable and create light sensitivity.Generally a doctor or optometrist are the first port of call.A mimor scratch is generally treated by topical antibiotics,but if no response or occurs with treatment then a more serious bacterial or fungal infection can be present.The Dr or Optometrist will refer to an ey specialist ASAP for further investigation
