in a moment of poor judgement, I cut some palys without gloves and did not thoroughly wash my hands. Sometime in the night while sleeping i rubbed my eye. I woke up with my eye feeling like it was on fire. I went to my doctor and she said I would fully recover but i did some damage. My cornea instead of looking smooth as glass looked like sandpaper. It felt like it too. Vision in that eye was totally blurry. I could not read the top letter on the eye chart. I still have some pain but my vision has recovered. I do have a safety protocol, but I found myself in an unexpected situation and just took the easy route and I paid a harsh price. Please be careful.

I forget who it was but another member got this very badly. I don't recall if he's made a full recovery or not.

Out of an abundance of caution I won't keep these in my tank ever again.
It is no joke; extreme pain on the eye ball and eye lids. Two distinct pains. From Nirvana’s by the way. I have some palys that i know are worse and they have got to go.

In our thoughts. Hopefully you regain full vision.
 
Damn it man. Hell of a reminder. I'm trying to get rid of some green ones right now. Easy to get complacent about them. Glad you are more or less alright.
