  The corneal abrasion is the scratch on the eye surface. After you get the medicine, your corneal abrasion will get recovery sooner. The corneal abrasion will be healed on its own because of the organic mechanism of the body. However, you should take notice of the habit of life these days. You should not eat the spicy food, smoke and drink.

  It depends. If it is a small abrasion, it would heal within hours. For a large abrasion, it may take one to two days. However, if you start to develop pain, discharge or difficulty opening your eyes, you should use an antibiotic eye drops to prevent infection. You should go visit your ophthalmologist to decrese the damage of infection.
