Occuler Trauma
What is Ocular Trauma?
Ocular trauma refers to any injury or damage to the eye, eyelid, or surrounding structures due to an accident or physical impact. It can range from minor scratches to severe injuries that may threaten vision.
Causes of Ocular Trauma:
- Blunt Force Injuries: Caused by sports injuries, falls, or accidents.
- Penetrating Injuries: Sharp objects piercing the eye.
- Chemical Burns: Exposure to harmful chemicals or substances.
- Foreign Bodies: Dust, debris, or metal fragments entering the eye.
Why Ocular Trauma Treatment is Done:
Timely treatment is crucial to prevent permanent damage, vision loss, or other complications. The eye’s delicate structure requires immediate care to minimize the risk of long-term consequences.
Treatment for Ocular Trauma:
- Immediate First Aid: Rinsing the eye if a chemical injury occurs and protecting it from further harm.
- Medications: Antibiotics, anti-inflammatory, or lubricating eye drops to prevent infection and reduce inflammation.
- Surgery: In severe cases, surgical intervention may be needed to repair damage to the eye or surrounding tissues.
