I went to the Doctor yesterday to have my eye looked at.  Since my fight, I have had 3 opthamalogical eye exams.  Due to the scar tissue developing on my eye, my opthamalogist had to refer me to an ocular specialist.  First the specialist used numbing drops in my eye, followed by several lidocane injections in the eyeball socket.  I believe he gave me one injection in the eyeball as well.  A scalpel was used to cut the scar tissue growth from my eyeball.  I also have a scar band attaching itself to the corner of my eye where the eyelid meets the cheek. Another injection (some type of cortisone) was administered to the scar band to reduce the swelling.  Finally, the doctor cauterized the eyeball to stop the bleeding.

Although this sounds very painful, the worst part of the entire procedure was the first two injections of the series to numb the eye.  I felt a slight pinch, and all was smooth sailing from that point on.  However, it is very scary to watch a doctor stick a needle and a cauterizing gun in and on your eyeball.
