Corneal abrasions are a small scratch on the cornea, the clear window at the front of the eye.
They are generally a result of injury to the surface of the eye.
Common causes include a fingernail scratching the eye, walking into something, and getting grit in the eye, particularly if the eye is then rubbed.
It comes following the news that Sam’s skincare brand has raked in a staggering £13.2 million since it launched just three years ago.
The reality star shot to fame as an original cast member on ITV’s The Only Way Is Essex in 2010, which she starred in until 2014 when she quit to appear in her own series, The Mummy Diaries, which ran until 2021.
Since bowing out of the TV limelight, Sam has turned her fame into fortune by starting up multiple businesses and her brand Revive Collagen has certainly proved a hit by achieving a whopping £13.2 million turnover in just three years.
The star’s beauty company specialises in award-winning ready to drink collagen and has been endorsed by celebrities such as Oti Mabuse, Paloma Faith and Amanda Holden, who is an ambassador for the brand.
A source exclusively told MailOnline: ‘Sam is one savvy businesswoman. She risked it all by starting the business, especially during the uncertain times of the lockdown.’
She captioned the update: ‘New pain unlocked and never experienced before. Edward poked me in the eye this morning’
They added: ‘She took no external investment and built the business from the ground up with her business partner.
‘With the business being profitable from day one and set to launch across the US next month, she firmly has her eyes set on becoming the global market leader in ingestible collagen.
‘Whilst she’s had a couple of business failures along the way, she’s definitely struck gold with Revive Collagen.’
Revive Collagen now claims to sell one box every 90 seconds and is stocked in over 2,000 stores across the UK, including high-profile retail locations like Harrods, Boots, and Holland & Barrett and is also stocked at Saks Fifth Avenue in the US.
