Sometimes even a small damage can lead to terrible — loss of vision.
How can I get injured?
Unfortunately, very simple. Ophthalmologists doctors celebrate the amazing eye ability to fix all the objects flying in his side: pieces of metal, corks from champagne, pebbles, balls, fragments, pencils. All this with an inexplicable constancy does not fall into the forehead or cheek, not in the nose or chin, not in the eyebrow, but straight into the eye. You can face eyes with many everyday items — those always at hand. For example, fork or screwdriver.
Extremely severe eye damage due to chemicals. You never happened to bring an aerosol to face if he did not want to splash? But this is how tragedies occur. Especially if the bottle was in a child. He and in the head will not come that the powder in the box with the inscription «Bleach» It is impossible to try even more — sink. Yes, however, any item in the hands of a small leaning becomes potentially dangerous for the eyes.
And who, as not we, adults, will tell them that scissors, a screwdriver, a knife or any other sharp item can not direct themselves in the face or run with him in hand?
And skis and ski sticks need to be transferred only in a case, not swing them if there are people? Special conversation about the firing, fireworks, flacculations and other similar entertainment. Best security guarantee — When children enjoy them with you. Cheap «Fire» toys are usually low quality, which means — DANGER.
But baby pneumatic guns are extremely dangerous for the eyes, regardless of the quality. Scares that they are sold anywhere and without any restriction. Little plastic bulbs only seem harmless. Finding into the eye, this «chit» May destroy it.
Ophthalmologists just beg the parents not to make children such sinister gifts. And if the toy gun already exists in the arsenal of your baby, teach it, first, in no case to make the trunk on yourself and others, and secondly, shoot only from a long distance.
How dangerous eye injury?
It all depends on how old it is. Dust — This is also injury, only minimum. The injury or contusion of the eyeball can cause full blindness.
In case of injury, his optical instrument suffers firstly — cornea and vitreous body. But the most difficult consequences — When the retina or visual nerve is damaged. It happens that following the injury of a tiny section of the eye, the pathological process applies to the entire body.
What to do where to run?
Try to get to the doctor as soon as possible. Let you not stop that the pain has passed and you can blink, not feeling tension. The trouble is that the eye can stop seeing several days later or even weeks after injury.
In order for the damaged eye less suffering, it must be covered with a clean marline bandage, after quarreling albut. If you get into the eye of a caustic chemical substance, it must be immediately rinsed under a strong jet of water. Then drip some liquid oil in the eye (Vaseline, sunflower). What will the doctor do? It all depends on the nature of the injury.
If a small metal foreign body fell into the eye and did not penetrate into the depths of the tissue, it is immediately removed by magnet. But when the injury is more serious, the patient is subjected to a comprehensive diagnosis, which includes x-ray examination, and ultrasound eyes, and computed tomography. The retinal function is also checked. Often the patient needs emergency care.
Modern microsurgical technique allows interventions on any part of the eye. For the treatment of traumatic retinal detachment today, a unique method is applied — Laser coagulation when laser beam «sticks» detached area. Often after serious injury requires repeated operations.
Alas, sometimes the injury is so hard that there is no longer a speech. In such cases, even partial recovery can be considered luck.
