🌸 The Case of the EVIL BIRD-OF-PARADISE 🌸
Over the weekend, a friend of Dr. C took a bird-of-paradise pedal straight to the eye while bending down to grab something off the ground.

This type of corneal abrasion is extremely painful—the cornea has more nerve endings than anywhere else in the body.
Dr. C’s treatment plan:
• A bandage contact lens to protect the cornea from the eyelid
• An antibiotic to prevent infection
• Pain management
