Geez!! Sorry to hear that and praying for your full recovery. You gotta be tough to live through that though. What was it?

Prayers for best recovery. I lost the left eye completely 15 years ago, I still wake up thinking it's still there.

Hope you heal, a friend got his head hit by a bridge beam 18 years ago but never been right since. I’ve had 6 concussions since I was 4 years old (car hit me, my head hit the road, still have scar) 4th one boxing, guy hit me in back of head while I was putting on the gloves, couldn't remember a thing till later in the afternoon. Now I’m almost deaf from all those imo, started losing it about at 10 years old, took awhile (19) to realize. Bumps all over my head

Even if (God forbid) the eye doesn't recover completely, the brain is wonderful in its ability to compensate

Good god. Hope you recover completely and quickly. In an instant, bad things can happen. Was at the track yesterday and one of my long time racing friends had his fingers bandaged up. Lost 2 of them in a pulley on a piece of equipment last week. In an instant, things can go sideways pretty quick.

I took a bungee cord to the eye two years ago. Bam, hit the ground and opened it, total blackness, felt it and it was still there and round. Cuts on my face, went to emergency room. Total blackness for 5-6 hours. Was making mental plans on how to adjust to it. Then over a span of couple of hours I could see colors, then shapes. Then over days of sitting upright and keeping the blood pressure down, I could see very blurry faces on TV. Enough so depth perception was going to be ok. After two weeks I have 20/25 in that eye. Very lucky, the pupil is fixed due to damage so sunglasses are a must and will probably had cataract in that eye later due to the trauma, but that can be fixed with surgery if it becomes to much of an issue. When it happened I thought “well that’s that” don’t give up on it,Takes a bit sometimes.

I offer my thoughts and prayers to those of you who have suffered any injuries. We still have to count our daily blessings.
