How to judge the severity of eye trauma?

Eye injury refers to the injury of eyeball and periocular structure caused by violent external force. The judgment of severity is crucial for timely and correct treatment and nursing measures. As an eye trauma expert in Dalian Eye Hospital, we will introduce how to judge the severity of eye trauma.

1. Vision impairment

Vision is one of the important indexes to judge the severity of eye trauma. After eye injury, the degree of injury can be assessed by measuring the patient's vision. If the eye injury causes a significant decline in vision, or the vision of both eyes is asymmetric, we should be highly alert to the severity of the injury. At this time, patients need to seek medical advice in time for more detailed examination and treatment.

In addition, abnormal eye movements can also indicate the severity of the injury. If the patient has symptoms such as eye movement disorder or strabismus after eye injury, it may mean that the eye muscle or eye channel has been damaged, and it needs to find a professional doctor for further evaluation and treatment.

2. Pain and redness of eye trauma

Eye trauma is often accompanied by pain, redness and swelling, which can be an indication of the severity of the injury. The aggravation of the degree of pain or the extension of the duration after injury, as well as the expansion of the extent of redness and swelling, may mean that the injury is more serious.

For example, corneal injury is a common type of eye trauma, which usually causes severe eye pain and redness. If the patient has obvious pain or severe redness and swelling after eye injury, it may indicate that the damage has caused serious damage to the cornea, and timely treatment is needed to avoid affecting the recovery of vision.

3. Fundus observation of eye trauma

Fundus observation is one of the important means to judge the severity of ocular trauma. By examining the patient's fundus, we can understand the location and severity of the injury.

After ocular trauma, fundus hemorrhage or retinal detachment often occur. If the fundus hemorrhage is large or the retinal detachment is serious, it means that the injury is serious and emergency treatment is needed to avoid further damage to the eyeball structure.

4. Examination and imaging evaluation of ocular trauma

For some complicated or difficult eye injuries, more detailed examinations and imaging assessments are needed to determine the severity of the injury more accurately.

For example, the damage of the internal structure of the eyeball can be observed in detail through ocular ultrasound, such as whether there is vitreous hemorrhage or retinal detachment. Fundus fluorescein angiography can evaluate vascular rupture, leakage and malformation. These examinations and imaging assessments will provide important references for doctors to formulate reasonable treatment plans.

summary

The severity of ocular trauma is closely related to such factors as visual impairment, pain, redness and swelling, fundus observation, examination and imaging evaluation. It is very important for patients to go to a professional eye hospital for comprehensive assessment and treatment in time. Only when the severity of eye trauma is accurately understood and judged can appropriate treatment methods be selected to reduce complications and restore vision as soon as possible. At the same time, people should also strengthen the awareness of prevention of eye injuries, do a good job in safety work, and prevent the eyes from being injured by external forces.
