Eye injury time out

Hi all,
Anyone had a fin go into the eye socket and break the floor of the eye socket?
Just curious as to how many months I'll be out.
Highly thank full to my Gath helmet and FCS 11 fins, with out the Helmut I would have been scalped and if the fin didn't come out how far in would it have gone? (Don't want to think about that one)
Freak accident in twenty years of surfing.
Cheers

Whoa that's heavy........ maybe your treating doctor is the best to ask when its ok to return to the surf ?

Not that common in SA, eye specialist said I was his third in twenty years that he had seen with a fin hit to the eye. Hard to find Dr's that have knowledge of what a wave can do to you.
I'll send the photo to Tracks not as gory as some but may still be worth printing.
