What should I do if my eyes are congested due to trauma? How should I deal with it?

The structure of the eye is relatively complex and fragile. If it is injured by external force and causes congestion of the eyeball, it should be treated in time. Eye injuries, no matter how serious they are, should be checked promptly. If not handled properly, it can easily lead to eye infection.

1. When the eyes are punched, they become bloodshot and we can see with our naked eyes that the white of the eyeball bleeds and turns red, which looks very serious. In fact, it also depends on the specific situation. If there is only a large area of ​​bleeding and there is no pain in the eye, decreased vision or other symptoms, generally speaking, the eye injury is not too serious. If it is accompanied by pain and decreased vision, the injury is generally more serious. But no matter what, this situation requires going to the hospital for relevant examinations. Because the structure of the eye is delicate and complex, once it is injured, it should be treated promptly.

2. Because eye trauma often causes multiple structural damages to the eye, and complications after trauma, such as intraocular inflammation, infection, and excessive cell proliferation, can cause greater harm. In addition, the doctor can give you the correct diagnosis, initial suturing and subsequent treatment, which are extremely important for saving the injured eye. Some clinical studies suggest that post-injury visual acuity, pupillary reaction, nature and location of injury are the main factors related to the prognosis of ocular trauma.

3. However, there is no need to be overly anxious if an eye injury occurs, because in the past 40 years, due to the development of microsurgery including vitrectomy, anti-infective drugs, diagnostic technology, etc., the treatment of eye injuries has made significant progress, the prognosis has been greatly improved, and many previously incurable injured eyes have been saved. In addition to the doctor's treatment, local cold compresses can be applied in the early stages of bleeding, and hot compresses can be applied two days later, twice a day, to promote the absorption of bleeding.
