Henry Rifle Forums

I got up this morning to go out for deer as I had stayed home yesterday. I should have stayed in bed! I went out to bring in some wood for the furnace and I tripped and fell face forward in to the wheel barrel full of wood. As I went down I tried to put my hands out to stop myself and I hit a log on the end with my hand and it flipped it back toward me and it got me in the right eye as I went down. I have blurry vision now in a eye that was fantastic before. Can't get in to see a doctor until tomorrow late afternoon unless I lose my vision completely in the right eye. I am a mess right now and probably will clean up my rifles and write off the rest of season. I just hope it gets better because of the great eye sight I still enjoyed up until this happened. I will definitely have a big shiner coming up. If anyone asks what happened I am going to say "This is what happens when you want to go in the woods and your wife don't want you to go."

WOW, sorry to hear. Hope you mend quickly.

I had a stick falling out of a tree hit me in the open eye years ago. Scratched the cornea. That eye was very blurry. Went to the ER. They put some ointment in it, a patch over it, and told me to leave it on for 24 hours. When I pulled the patch, I was back to normal. Well, my eye was normal anyway.

Hopefully it will be as simple as that for you. Good luck.

I am very sorry to hear of this accident. I certainly hope that your eye heals up well and that there is no problem with your sight. Keep us informed.

Good luck bandit. Obviously we all know how important your sight is to you.

Very sorry to hear about your accident. Crazy how these freak accidents occur. Will say a prayer for your healing. Take care.

I wish you the best. A couple years ago I had serious vision problems but everything healed fine. Don't be surprised if you have a total and complete recovery.

I hope you have a quick and full recovery, Bandit. I am so glad it was not worse because from your description of events, it really could have been a tragic accident. Keep us posted.

Ouch! Wishing the best for you.

I want to thank all my fellow members for their concern and well wishes with this eye incident. If I don't get full recovery their may be a lot of peep sight lever action Marlins for sale.

Speedy recovery. Ouch.

Very sorry about the accident, Bandit. Never expected, never an easy thing.
I agree totally with NCG's well-wishes for you, and will pray there will be good healing and complete recovery for your eye.
Take good care of yourself.

Take care and get better
Eye injurys SUCK, been there, usually metal/rust.
I used to be able to get stuff out myself, but close vision is fading fast

Wow! I am so sorry to hear about your accident.

I will pray for your eye issues.

Get well soon.

Get well soon Bandit. Those rifles and Deer will be waiting for ya when you get better.

Bandit, I hope you have a quick recovery. See what the doctor says before your deer season is over.
