How Do I Care for an Eye Wound?

The eyes are delicate organs, a irrelevant injury to other parts of the body, but may cause blindness to the eyes. Eye trauma can be roughly divided into blunt injuries, perforation injuries, burns, and sympathetic ophthalmia; when the eyeball is impacted and not ruptured, regardless of the degree of injury; it is generally called pure eye injury. When the eyeball is injured, the outer layer of the eye is perforated. Burns can be caused by strong acids, alkalis, hot steam or liquid splashing into the eyes. Sympathetic ophthalmitis is an autologous rabbit epidemic disease caused by the destruction of a large number of uveal tissues or the presence of foreign bodies in the eyes after eyeball perforation injury. Viral infection may have promoted this immune response. The main clinical manifestation is that after a certain period of time after the perforation of the eye, it may be more than ten days, or months, years, or even one or two decades, and the symptoms of iris ciliaryitis occur on the other eye without injury. There are photophobia, tears, eye pain, and vision loss. Self-conscious symptoms are generally not obvious, the course is very long, sometimes it continues to worsen, sometimes it gets better or worse, and it develops in waves. The end result is often bad, with secondary glaucoma, cataracts, and eye atrophy.
