Hey everybody. So I started a new job at this factory where I will be working on car parts. Part of the factory has stations with laser work being done. So while I was on the assebmly line - i was actually struck (went over my eye protection glasses) with a laser into my eye.
Ever since then - I had to drive home after working 6 more hours as that was 2 hours into my shift. This was Friday Night to Very early like just turned into morning of Monday and has been 2 days now. My eye is still very blurry and can barley see. I coul;d not even basically see where I was putting these parts. I was very scared. I think things are getting a bit better. I know I should go, but I havent gone to an urgent care type of place... yet? |

I suggest notifying your supervisor about the incident. Also go to urgent care right away.
Workplace injuries like this should not be taken lightly. |

| Need to see an eye specialist and have an eye exam done. Laser like that into your eye isn't a thing to take time with. The longer you wait the more likely it won't heal. A eye specialist could help you get the best vision possible again. |

| You should be explaining this to a doctor but instead here explaining to a gaming forum. |
