So, doing some DIY in the house when a cable flicked up and tw@tted me in the eye. I couldnt see out of it for circa two days (blurred) and, because I'm an idiot, didn't visit the docs.

Vision came back perfectly fine (took around two weeks) and all was well...

... except now I've got a twitch! It's very visible - the bottom 'lid' (what on earth do you call that?!) spasms once or twice. It's really annoying.

Is it worth visiting the docs? I've already been once in the last 12 months to belatedly check out a lump in my mouth (tooth trauma, he said. Hopefully, he said. Keep an eye on it, he said. fk off cancer, I said) so don't want to pester the dude...

Could it be nerve damage? Or could it just be down to stress + tiredness? If the former, would it even be treatable? If the latter, I don't feel stressed but probably should be - lots of bad news recently. I don't ever 'feel' anything I only ever know when I'm stressed when a physical symptom crops up (usually eczema)

sounds like you have a healing corneal abrasion

go to (eye) casualty and get seen. Occasionally they develop into corneal ulcers.

It's your eye, and you've only got one spare one, so get it looked at.
