INTRODUCTION

Stphane

On a beautiful spring day in South Carolina during my college years, I was hit square in my right eye by a line-drive golf ball shot.

I had been waiting for my friends to hit their chip or bunker shots onto the green, leisurely enjoying the sunshine and an uncharacteristically perfect balance of humidity for a South Carolina spring day. We were on a Par 3, and I enjoyed the playful yet competitive nature of golf outings with my college friends.

Fore! I heard shouted in the distance. Believing that a ball was coming from the other side of the green off one of my buddys golf clubs (where it typically would), I turned away instinctively. However, there was another golf player (not from our group) playing the hole parallel to ours. A thin layer of trees was all that separated our two holes. He was trying to hit out of the trees toward his green and was clearly unsuccessful with his shot. I turned directly into the ball.

POW! It happened so quickly that my conscious mind didnt grasp it. I was immediately knocked out cold and fell onto my back several feet from where I had been standing, due to the balls velocity.

My friends ran to my side just as I was coming to. I tried to stand from the adrenaline rush. I covered my right eye with both hands, but it did little to stop the severe bleeding. I walked around in circles, disoriented, as my friends tried to understand what had happened.

Something just hit me in the eye! I dont know what it was, I stuttered, and removed my hands from my right eye to show them.

The look on their faces said it all. I couldnt see much else.

Is my eyeball still there? Can you still see my eyeball? I asked fervently, panicking, wondering if my entire eyeball had been dislodged from the impact. The golfer, who had hit the ball, came running out of the trees, apologizing profusely. We began to put the pieces together of what had happened.

Somehow, a shanked ball that was hit blindly from the trees had come into square contact with my right eye. It was purely accidental, circumstantial, coincidental. It did not skip, bounce, or slow down on its beeline to my face - it retained its full velocity and rendered the right side of my face looking like I lost a lousy fight with Mike Tyson.

My friends and the player immediately rushed me to the hospital, where I was sent through a series of check-in procedures and a CT scan. I was seen by an ophthalmologist and a trauma physician. As I tried to steady my breathing and process what had happened, the trauma physician came to my ER bed to speak to me.

He was stern, no-nonsense. We need to discuss a couple of things, he began. So, lets begin with the good news.

Good news! I felt a sense of warm relief melt throughout my body.

He continued. The good news is according to your CT scan, you have micro-fractures around your orbital bone. Based on the severity of the micro-fractures, we can determine if the golf ball had landed one inch to the right of your eye on your temple, it wouldve been lethal. You would not be here with us right now.

The previous warmth of relief instantly turned ice-cold as I took in the magnitude of the situation.

THATs the good news? I asked in disbelief. Whats the bad news? I braced for impact.

Theres still severe internal bleeding in your eye, and its not letting up based on what we can tell. We may need to do an emergency operation to remove your eye, he said calmly.

I immediately felt I was going to be sick. No, no, no, I kept saying. That cant happen. I need a second opinion.

He left me with a warning. You can get a second opinion, but you need to act quickly. Further damage could happen if your eye continues to bleed. And whatever you do, its highly unlikely youll ever get your vision back.
