corneal abrasion:
A corneal abrasion is a painful scrape or scratch of the surface of the clear part of the eye. This clear tissue of the eye is known as the cornea. This transparent window covers the iris, the circular colored portion of the eye. The cornea has many nerve endings just under the surface, so that any disruption of the surface may be painful.
As my husband said to me this afternoon "I close my eye before she does it, you should have remembered to do that because it hurts" Thanks for that advice, I'll try and remember to close my eyes before our Boxer, Gracie, tries and paws at them!
