Will this effect my sight?!


Question: When I was in 3rd grade i had a glow-stick and i was snapping it to make it glow. Well it kinda broke and the liquid got in both eyes pretty bad. I went straight to the bathroom and washed it out. But now whenever i get hurt my pupils dilaite so bad i cant see straight, or walk a straight line. Are there chemicals in the glow-stick that could be harmful to me now that didnt effect me then?
all help is apreciated! Thanks! :)

I don't know the answer to your question, but you can find out by seeing a neuro-ophthalmologist. I don't think it has anything to do with the glow-stick incident, but what you describe definitely needs to be checked out. Good luck.

See an eye doctor. It might be something entirely unrelated to the glow stick incident.

if it was hazardous or like a very bad chemical you would prolly be blind by now. also if it was very harmful like radiation stuff u would start vomiting right after the thing broke and also the ppl around u wouldnt gave ya tha glow-stick... so is pretty obvious. then again, vision problems can come from family history. --also, glow-stick r mostly made up of neon i think, i'm not sure lol but i kno that they dont put harmful chemicals inside =) if ur having really bad problems i recommend asking a doctor.

I agree that the two things may be unrelated and that you should see a doctor. However, make sure that it's an actual reputable doctor and not one of the chain glasses/contact lenses stores.

yes very bad chemicals go to a doctor and maybe see what they say maybe u need glasses!
