The document describes an eye injury and subsequent operation. Key details include:
1. The narrator awoke in the hospital and was told they needed emergency eye surgery after a splinter from a windscreen entered their eye.
2. During the operation, the surgeon Mr. David removed the injured lens and stitched the pupil, leaving the narrator nearly blind in that eye.
3. After recovering, the narrator learned they had lost the lens and most vision in the eye, though a contact lens provided about 90% vision with double vision.
4. The document does not provide many other details about what structures were damaged or the full effects of the injury.
