My husband got hot oil in his eye and got a corneal abrasion. Basically a burn on his Cornea. It went straight into his pupil.

This might be a tad insensitive of me to ask, but like, what were the medical repercussions of this injury? Is he blind in that eye? Does he have a eye like Le Chiffre? Did he get superpowers!?

Lol. No it healed just fine. His vision was blurry for a few days but he get some weird ointment to put in it.

But I imagine if it were a worst burn or hotter oils (some different factors) it could have been worse.

Since ELI5 does not allow hypothetical questions, this is better in r/askdocs.
