Answers:

Accidents happen - stop feeling guilty and when you are playing with someone its terribly easy to do. Now eyes do hurt a lot but they also heal quickly. I would't use eye drops if the cornea is scratched. Your research is likely to be right but if it doesn't start to get better in 24 hours or starts to hurt worse then she needs to have the eye checked.

Your parents will understand that accidents happen - they'll be less happy if the pair of you don't tell them that something is wrong so they can fix it. Please stop worrying. We all have accidents and teh main thing is to fix the problem.



Matilda, you should have a friends mom or someone check it out that may know what to look for...you don't have to say you poked her eye, you can have an agreement with your sis and say don't tell them I poled your eye, just say it got poked...have the adults check it out and they might know. Also you can try and get your parents if you want, orget their insurance card for you and you can have an adult take you guys to an eye doctor to tell you guys if your sis eye will be ok. Its not always good to risk it...some eyes heal different. I might not be bad but who knows...and we don't have pics to look at. But don't worry, accidents do happen, so don't freak out just try to handle it the best way you can! Hope this helps!
