What to do if the eyes are injured and congested? How to deal with it

Our eyes are very fragile. If they are injured by external force, it is easy to cause eye congestion. Congestion caused by injury must be treated promptly. If it is not treated promptly or improperly, it is likely to affect the health of the eyes.

Chemical burns

Rinse eyes immediately with saline or tap water, and use your fingers to pry open your eyelids, the wider the better. You can even put your head under the faucet and let the water rinse directly into your eyes for at least 15 minutes, moving your eyeballs as much as possible. Go to hospital for treatment immediately after flushing.

Foreign bodies in the eye

Never rub your eyes when there are particles in them. You can lift the upper eyelid forward and pull it down over the lower eyelid, allowing the eyelashes to brush out the particles in the upper eyelid; close your eyes or blink a few times to let the particles flow out with tears; you can also use saline or cold boiled water to rinse. If particles are still present, close your eyes and go to the hospital's ophthalmology department for treatment by a doctor as soon as possible.

Eye injury

Apply ice immediately for about 15 minutes to reduce pain and swelling. If the eye socket becomes black or the vision is blurred, it may be due to intraocular bleeding or other injury. You must go to the hospital immediately and ask an ophthalmologist to examine and treat you.

Eye cuts

Lightly bandage the eye with gauze. Do not try to remove any objects stuck in your eyes or eyelids, avoid pressing or rubbing your eyeballs, and go to the hospital immediately.
