AJ still driving with 1 eye and 2 feet is hilarious.

[@BigBoom27462]

couldn't come up with an original comment huh?

[@EXG21]

All while falling asleep. Ha ha.

[@davidbkg6155]

I'll always defend 2 feet drivers because it can be done safely. Now him pumping gas with the car running is something I can't get behind lol

[@toddsmith8820]

😂😂😂😂

[@ross8816]

Only need one eye for a driver's license

[@frankl3518]

Lol, when Pat asked him if he's gonna recover and AJ said " yea it'll regrow" 🤣. Pat says " Are you sure of that" and AJ says " Nope, Im not sure of anything". Lol. Savage

[@organicheals]

Hes actually right though if it was just a superficial abrasion the epithelium will regrow pretty rapidly. xD

[@FuckitnFightit]

As a tile guy who’s had tons of shards of tile stuck in my eyeball, the docs just toss some numbing drops in and it heals up quick.

[@frankl3518]

@FuckitnFightit Like Pat said, i can't stand a eye lash in there. Salute

[@shaft5]

I remember one time I went to pick up a 5 year old girl (playfully) and as soon as I bent over to pick her up for some reason she jumped straight up and her head hit the bottom of my jaw and my teeth crashed into each other. If my tongue was in between my teeth i would no longer have a tongue. Kids are unpredictable.

[@Moises-Donquixote.Sanchez]

Taking the pain like he's been there before as it should be , AJ Hawk Is a DAWG.

[@robinsimpson7301]

The cornea is the part over the pupil so a third of that is a lot, and by finger nail which is worse so it is kinda serious

[@haveagreatday6952]

Well, it’s not like the eye itself hurts. That’s truly the only consolation here. It’s more of the knowledge of what has happened that screws with you, and the wondering how much it can heal that fucks with you.

[@Nelson_504]

Same.. I can't even imagine how that felt.

[@pilotben97]

"Do you have to be seen in public today" ... Also, the fact AJ DROVE while half blind... Menace.

[@taylormoe6312]

Lol, kids are no joke, my 6 year old daughter gave my wife a concussion a few months back, by accidentally elbowing her in the temple. Knocked out for a second, puked, and slurred speech for days, it was nuts!

[@5vs1ngh0]

😂 😂 a 6 year old!? Sign her up to some mma she might have a future

[@MrDunloMusic]

My six year old dropped a Buzz Lightyear action figure on my noggin and gave me a nasty concussion. Had to get an MRI to confirm no brain bleeding, had to hang out in dark rooms for about a week, etc. I was in the protocol for about a month

[@brookeb452]

Have a friend who’s 5 year old was jumping on the trampoline, dad sitting there on it, and the kid said watch me do a flip, and somehow, someway, the flip went awry, friend got a knee to the nose and broke it 😅

[@EdwinMaturski-cc9is]

AJ is one tough MF... The pain is excruciating for months as it very slowly gets better... I pray that you are able to heal quickly Hawk.

[@nickb011bra]

Next to the tongue, the eyeball is the fastest healing piece of the body.

[@laughingalltheway8399]

I feel for AJ. One of my kids deeply scratched my cornea when he was a toddler...sooooooo painful. Hopefully he heals quickly!

[@dhaddine5472]

Had a severely scratched cornea before. It’s a nightmare. It kept on healing overnight … to the back of my eyelids … so when I opened my eyes in the morning, it re-tore. I had to be on a bunch of lubricants constantly so it healed properly.

[@txatmowner]

Get well AJ! You and the team of course are handling this like the G's you are.

[@alex_from_asia]

This day will go down in infamy, I love this show dawg 😂

[@scrapbmxrider16]

Hey aj did you see half of the packers game

[@nicholasneumann1032]

“When I get a little hair in my eye” … Pat is a legend 😂😂😂

[@NexyusN]

I have a Cornea disease, Kerataconus, and I've scratched my cornea on two separate occasions not related to my disease but let me tell you a Cornea injury is no joke. You literally cannot move either eyeball without excruciating pain. It feels like little Peebles were covered with lime juice and lodged into your eyeball that has papercuts all over it. Water literally pours out of your eye and your vision is cooked for about two days. You can't do anything but lay still until it heals, which luckily only takes about 2-4 days. I commend AJ for taking it like an absolute DAWG but to make it better don't move either eye it makes your injured eye rub against the inside of your eyelid. Keep them both shut and don't move, Side note: To cure Keratoconus doctors, have to scratch your cornea and harden it with a green gel for about 30 minutes so I have felt the scratched cornea experience a total of 4 times. Luckily for AJ your eyeball is one of the quickest healing parts of your body. AJ should have worse eyesight in that eye for the rest of his life but will be relatively pain free with proper antibiotic drops and ice within a few days.

[@laguirre731]

Aye I also had kertoconus! I rarely find other people who had that as well

[@MrCombs234]

Gotta love the enthusiasm and grit Ol Hawker speaks with. He's a good motivator.

[@TheTEN24]

What a crazy story. Hopefully AJ gets better soon. This show is electric for moments like this lmao

[@iluvmoshing5216]

Geez when AJ said we’ll see and Pat said “You won’t HAHA” is where I lost it. Had me rolling w that. Thanks for this clip guys. ❤

[@btipton6899]

AJ, please say "I'll be back!" 😂

[@nathanwallis9936]

I have right eye damage and am basically blind out of that eye. I feel for you AJ and will be praying for you!

[@jasonhaley5737]

Been there. I had a piece of gravel scratch my cornea and it burned like hell for about 2-3 days. Luckily it heals pretty quickly.

[@yukoncornelius73]

Same here. Happened the same way it did to AJ. It's rough going

[@topnotchtajmahal7216]

[@bobbythorton7693]

I had sand scratch mine, took about 4-5 days to see correctly maybe longer. Was a pirate and my other eye was hurting for some reason so it effects your good eye.

[@jimmyyking]

Wholy moly. Hoping you have a speedy recovery! Had a similar situation but for me, it was a guitar string that pierced my eye. It still isn't fully healed 10 yrs later and still hurts like the first time it happened whenever I sleep face down on my right eye. But nothing compared to you AJ. Good luck sir.

[@binks7831]

What a dawg, the first time he got a jab and it was to the eye.

[@JohnDoe-xl1ig]

I had same thing happen to me! It's painful. My toddler was lying in bed beside me when I woke up, he tried to play with my hair and his fingernail cut my eyeball open at 8am... it hurt for a week. Numbing jell my doctor gave me was only thing that eased the pain.

My son did this to me the exact same way. Was excruciating pain. Mine wasn't that bad thought. Happened at night around 10pm. Called hospital they said couldn't do anything. Had to wait to see an eye dr. Lucky was able to be seen the next day. Dont wish this on anyone.

[@bradleymaravalli2851]

How is your eye now? Did it heal and fully recover?

[@josephlittle1752]

Dude left out the most important part of the story, is your eye ok or not?

[@sarahgrassi9648]

yes it healed. but was told once it happens that eye will always be easy for it to reopen. cause it tears and rarely heals perfectly to the tear.

[@j.g.mcbell9494]

I mean, they could have given you pain meds and at least knocked you out until that doctor came around. That’s something.

[@Chozin1]

​@@j.g.mcbell9494he would of had a lifetime of hospital bills

[@losangelescardinals]

Just when I thought AJ wasn’t enough of a risk on the road enough. I can just imagine his insurance is through the roof

[@ross8816]

Eye doctor here. I want to know which self respecting eye doctor didn't give him a bandage contact lens. Pressure patching is archaic for corneal abrasions.

[@joeygambone4757]

Will he lose eyesight for something like this?

[@ross8816]

No abrasions are just epithelial and the cornea epithelium regenerates without scarring really quickly. If the scratch was into the cornea stroma which does scar then his reported acuity would be much worse. I give the Dr a bad time for pressure patching but actually if I was pulling on AJ Hawks eyelids to place a bandage contact lens and he told me to stop; I would have listened as well 😄.

[@Thegaminglender]

Fear re-unlocked. I was 3 or 4 years old when my dog knocked me over, and I hit my eye on the corner of the grill. I remember to this day crying on the ground as my dad was yelling at our dog knocking me over. I remember going to numerous eye doctor appointments to make sure I can still see. I was lucky to miss everything major in my left eye. We still had the puppy and my vision, but that memory sticks with me. I think I'll just wear goggles from here on out.

[@TheARehmar]

All of mankind should just be glad this dude was born in the modern era to be a football monster instead of the most terrifying barbarian chieftan in history... absolute savage.

[@rebeltvr6046]

This happened to me too, takes about 5 days to recover. But if it's serious, may take 2-3 weeks.

[@tronlegacy2664]

I don’t think I’ve ever laughed so hard on a Pat Macfee show so much.. Pat said “yeah, don’t let him remember this” than two seconds later “no remind him… show him.. look me at me you did this to me” I was done😂 06:00

[@FrEshelman]

S.A. to AJ for being today years old when he found out "we use both of these guys" to see.

For the rest of this season I am a superfan of AJ's right eye, wishing them* all the best. *all the parts of his eye, each eye is a team within the eye team, optical nerve is QB, cornea is OL, corner is running back, etc. Iris Hawk has the grippiest photonic hands in the league, I'm expecting major production in this rebuilding offseason.

[@chieftron]

I had my cornea busted open by a thrown acorn when I was a kid, they had to drain my cornea because it filled with blood. After some lazer action to seal it after being drained and about 1 month of wearing a patch, I fully recovered, thankfully. 25 years later and my vision is still perfect. With the way technology has improved and considering his access to top level doctors/surgeons I'm sure he will recover much quicker than I did. Either way, definitely one of the worst pains I've ever experienced in my entire life. Wish you a speedy and full recovery AJ

[@brandonmcsorley9579]

Been there done that, definitely not sleeping for longer than 10 minutes for a couple days. But I would never drive like that. That's just madness.

[@jrhall2324]

AJ looking like the Terminator with those glasses, prolly got a Red glowing eye behind that patch. Waiting for him to bust out "‘I need your clothes, your boots, and your motorcycle" 😂

[@FatGuyLittIeCoat]

I've had a piece of metal in my eye, hospital straight up told me they weren't equipped to deal with it and it was probably better to wait and go to an eye doctor the next day. That sucked and it was maybe 10% as bad as what AJ's got going on, T's and P's brother.

Eye pain is some of the worst. I have a disease which targets my eyes with swelling and I wish that pain on no one. It's both inside and outside of your body. Closing the eye creates a pain from pressure. Opening the eye creates pain from the elements. It's hell.

[@first1408]

After 2 months after having it swollen shut , seen yellow for a month but after 7 years I notice I see threw my right good but my left it’s like a delay, and your sense of where things are. For example I think I’m placing a plate on over and on a table but since I’m viewing and understanding what I see from one eye the other eye is hard to focus and it’s not like it’s blurry but i cant comprehend what I’m seeing unless i try focus to understand what I’m seeing . So I may notice ur good eye more open the the bad one cause you don’t notice and having both open wide like it all gets blurry . Wish you A Quick Recovery and if you find yourself frustrated why you keep dropping things and bumping into stuff remind yourself and others your vision is a little off cause sometimes people get mad cause you will be dropping things a lot and they assume I’m just clumsy or stoned and or doing it on purpose. Took me a while understand why I was dropping stuff and bumping into things , especially after Several Severe Traumatic Brain injuries, it’s a challenge just to speak, and remember words and meanings. I wonder if some one wrote the movie Momento, after following me around 4 a week, but I wouldn’t be able to honestly tell you if that is true or not cause I won’t even remember writing this soon

My advice to AJ is take it seriously and get to a retinal specialist and best surgeons. My dad was surgeon for 45 years and a trash lid corner took his corneal lense out, detached retina...etc. He ended up going thru several corneal transplants from donor eyes and never got vision back n had to retire. He has a glass eye now. Get well AJ best wishes
