Recently, Xuyen A Tay Ninh General Hospital has continuously received many cases of injuries occurring in daily life and work with different levels of damage. Among them, many cases have eye injuries.
Typically, while working, Ms. K was hit in the eye by a piece of broken glass from a thermos bottle. After the injury, her eye bled, hurt, and her vision was blurred.
The doctor determined that Ms. K's right eye had a torn sclera and cornea, with intraocular tissue trapped in the tear. The patient needed emergency sutures to preserve the trapped intraocular tissue, minimize the risk of eye infection, and most importantly, preserve vision.
In particular, the patient also has a history of diabetes. Therefore, doctors focus highly on developing a suitable treatment regimen for the patient.
After 5 days of treatment, Ms. K's eyes were stable and she was discharged from the hospital. Her vision was preserved at 70% compared to normal eyes.
Another case is Mr. H (30 years old) with a diagnosis of severe eye trauma due to strong impact. The left eye cannot perceive light, the tear in the sclera - cornea is long, and the intraocular tissue is protruded.
Doctors sutured the lacerated eyeball to minimize the risk of infection. However, the eyeball was only preserved for cosmetic reasons, with almost no visual function left.
Doctor Nguyen Thi Quynh Nga - Head of the Ophthalmology Department of Xuyen A Tay Ninh General Hospital said that mild or severe eye injuries can cause serious damage to vision if not properly treated and promptly treated.
After an injury, you should not try to treat it yourself, such as removing the foreign object or rubbing it away. You should not buy eye drops without consulting a specialist.
Eye injuries, especially those involving the eyeball, can cause late post-traumatic complications such as increased eye pressure, cataracts, uveitis, etc. Signs such as red eyes, pain, and blurred vision after a collision are considered warning signs.
Therefore, when an eye injury occurs, quickly go to the nearest medical facility for examination to avoid dangerous complications later.
