Eye Injury
An eye injury refers to any damage to the eye or surrounding structures, which can result from various causes such as accidents, sports, or exposure to harmful substances. Common types of eye injuries include corneal abrasions, chemical burns, and foreign bodies lodged in the eye. Symptoms may include pain, redness, blurred vision, or swelling.
Prompt treatment is essential to prevent long-term damage or vision loss. If an eye injury occurs, it is important to avoid rubbing the eye and to seek medical attention immediately. Proper protective eyewear can help reduce the risk of eye injuries during activities that pose a threat to eye safety.
