I've posted a similar topic a long time ago, but now I thought I'd delve deeper into researching this sort of thing. A thousand years ago (middle ages), what would the medical practice have been like for wounds? I mean, in terms of say, you lose an eye (you're slashed in the face by a sword, for example), how would you go about treating it? My character in my WIP loses an eye, and it's gone for good. He doesn't physically lose his eye, merely his sight in it. What would happen to the eye? Would it merely be bandaged over? Or would surgeons at the time be bold enough to try to remove it or something? Just asking what people think, and if there are any doctors or people with an opinion, who could also clarify if say, your eye is scratched badly, would you lose your sight?
