Once she realized what had happened, Barlow immediately went to her local hospital where a doctor assured her that she would not go blind as a result of the mishap. 

“You’re not going to be blind, but you damaged a cornea,” the physician said.

“I guess there are four levels of your cornea and it went into level three,” she explained. “It scratched up my whole eye and they had to use surgical tweezers to pull out the eyelashes on the corner.”
