5 Common Eye Injuries and How to Treat Them

3/18/2020

​The eye is the most delicate part of the body. An injury to the eye can cause permanent blindness or damage. Remember that safety precautions for eye injuries will need common sense. It’s best to protect the eye at all times. However, here are some tips on handling and treating the most common eye injuries.
Scratched Eye
Technically, doctors call this corneal abrasion. If the eye undergoes a sudden laceration, the solution is to rush to the eye doctor. This happens if someone pokes your eye with his finger or with a sharp object. It also occurs when dust or sand gets into your eye.

Penetrating or Foreign Object Gets Into the Eye
In case a foreign object gets into the eye, especially if it is as sharp as a metal hook, get to the nearest emergency room right away. Never attempt to remove the foreign object if it's dangerous. Endure the pain instead of deciding to rub your eye. This accident happens when you or someone near you is not careful.

Caustic Foreign Substance in the Eye
Also known as a chemical burn, this injury happens when some liquid like acid or shampoo gets into your eyes. While acids cause burning and redness, alkali like soap can cause more severe pain as well as tears.  The best solution is to use a splash or several splashes of liquid onto your eye. This should dissolve some of the chemicals. If the pain persists, see a doctor as soon as possible.

Eye Swelling
If you have swollen eyelids, it could be a result of something hitting your eye at high speed like a baseball. The best first aid is an ice pack. However, if the whole eye gets bruised, see a doctor as soon as you can. There might be internal damage to the eye.

Eye Bleeding
Also called a subconjunctival hemorrhage, eye bleeding involves your eye leaking blood because of a broken or injured blood vessel. The blood vessel is usually located between the clear covering of the eye called the conjunctiva, and the white of the eye called the sclera.

Some Last Words
If you get an eye injury, the best thing to do is to contact your eye doctor immediately. Otherwise, rush to the emergency room, and the nurses and doctors will take care of you. However, the most important thing aside from knowing first aid is to get vision insurance.
