Yesterday we were looking at countertops at the store, Chase was standing by us, and somehow the guy showing us the samples accidentally punctured Chase’s eye with the point of a ballpoint pen he had in his hand. The white of Chase’s eyeball got a tiny puncture in it; thank goodness it didn’t happen on his cornea or pupil or anything… But I still get so sad because Chase gets injured multiple times every day, sometimes much worse than others (as in this case)!
Anyway, It seems as though this is nothing that would affect his vision, but I am wondering if it could get infected somehow. Mainly I am just wondering about your opinions– should we take him in to an opthamologist to check for infection, or just let his eye heal? I ask because I’m not the type that likes to go to the doctor for just anything, especially because it’s expensive and annoying. Pace called the guy at the store who did it, asking him to pay for the doctor’s visit, but the guy was defensive and it sounds like that might not work out… Opinions about Chase’s eye situation?
