About the disease & condition

Eye injuries occur due to blunt trauma, sharp objects, or chemical exposure, with severity ranging from minor irritation to vision-threatening damage. Common causes include sports accidents, workplace injuries, road trauma, foreign body, or chemical splashes. Prompt evaluation is crucial to prevent complications such as infection, scarring, retinal detachment, or permanent vision loss. Diagnosis involves slit-lamp and fluorescein examination, imaging for fractures, and testing visual acuity and intraocular pressure. Prevention includes protective eyewear, avoiding eye rubbing, and seeking immediate medical attention for any injury.
