Hello
Welcome to Health care Magic.
I reviewed your history.
It seems from the history that you had injury to the eye as oil fell into your eye.
This would have caused corneal epithelial defect.
This will take 1 week to heal and requires treatment by the use of antibiotics and antiinflammatory drugs.
Hence I advice you to consult your doctor for examination and treatment accordingly.
Hope this is helpful to you.
Do write back to me for further questions.
Thank you
