Blue, I too am sorry. i have a brother who lost sight in one eye due to a sledding accident and the old kind of runner sled that had a sharp point in the front. It has not limited him in his life at all and most people don't even know. He has been a cop most of his adult life. he can see shadows like if someone approaches from that side. How did you get stuff in your eye? My brother hit another kid's sled.
