[QUOTE="wbvs58, post: 1178292, member: 16453"] If it is as you suggested a punctured eye then he definitely will be blind as the eye will collapse. However it does sound more like an injury to the cornea and providing it is not progressive and ruptures then it will heal up very well. The milkiness is oedema (water) that leaks into the glassy cornea when its water tight surface is breached, as the injury heals and seals over the water is resorbed and contracts to around the injury leaving minimal scarring. I disagree with Milkmaid though, dogs and horses can heal up from similar injuries very well. A patch over the eye would be usefull to keep bright light and flies out of the eye. Ken [/QUOTE]
