Ocular Trauma
Ocular trauma refers to any injury to the eye or surrounding structures, which can result from various causes such as accidents, sports injuries, or physical assaults. These injuries can range from minor scratches on the cornea to severe damage that may lead to vision loss. Common symptoms include pain, redness, swelling, and blurred vision.
Prompt medical attention is crucial for ocular trauma to prevent long-term damage. Treatment may involve medications, protective eyewear, or surgical procedures, depending on the severity of the injury. Proper safety measures, such as wearing safety goggles during hazardous activities, can help reduce the risk of ocular trauma.
