I Got An Eye Injury 6-Years-Ago That Left My Right Eye Blue Now Instead Of The Original Brown
So a quick overview is that I was hit in the eye with a tree branch and have had 6 surgeries on it so far. My pupil does not adjust anymore so it always looks like it’s extremely dilated and my iris peeled up and is no longer brown but is showing the blue underneath. Also, I no longer have a lens in that eye!
Without a contact, I see nothing, with a contact at power 15 I can see blurred images... like the outline of my hand if it’s close to my face.

That happened to a friend of mine after she was in a car accident. The airbag damaged her eye and it turned blue. She had surgery to fix it though and it returned to being brown.

Scar Changed How My Thumb Nail Grows
Debby Keir 6 months ago
Any injury just underneath the nail tends to injure the nail bed (and thus change how the nail grows) In some people, the mail bed is quite far down. People who have amputated the finger to the top of the first joint, can sometimes grow a new nail (usually misshapen though)

So they injured their finger badly enough it won't bend, and they got a big cut on the same finger that left a scar. The real question is, why do they hate their left ring finger.
