Guest guest Posted July 28, 2003 Report Share Posted July 28, 2003 Many years ago when I first started wearing hard contact lenses and accidentally went to sleep in them (scratching my cornea badly), my mother put a poultice of scraped potato on them - they were fine by the next day. She would just cut a potato in half, scrape it with a spoon and place the scrapings on my eye. It turns black and yukky, but I believe the starch draws out infection and swelling (that's MY conclusion - not a fact, as far as I know).
