How to prevent eye trauma
Eye trauma refers to the damage to the eyes caused by external forces, including stab wounds, impacts, burns, etc. The damage of eye trauma to vision is often irreversible, so it is very important to prevent eye trauma. Here are four ways to prevent eye injuries.
1. Pay attention to eye protection
First, wear proper protective glasses when going out. When carrying out high-risk activities or work, such as sports and construction work, wear safety glasses or goggles to prevent eyeballs from being hit or stabbed by foreign objects. Secondly, avoid staring at computers, mobile phones and other electronic screens for a long time. You can close your eyes and rest at the right time. You can also wear eye masks or use eye protection films to alleviate eye fatigue. In addition, avoid contacting harmful substances, such as strong acid, strong alkali, toxic gas, etc. If these substances need to be handled, wear protective glasses and gloves.
Maintaining good eye hygiene is also an important measure to prevent eye injuries. Keep your eyes clean, wash your face and hands regularly to avoid eye infection, and turn your eyes slowly and apply eye ointment regularly to keep your eyes moist.
Finally, protect your eyes from the sun. When the sun is strong, wear sunglasses to prevent UV damage to the eyes.
2. Avoid eye induration
Many eye injuries occur because the environment around the eyes is not clean or safe. Therefore, it is necessary to avoid the injury caused by ocular induration and keep the environment clean and safe. At home, we should pay attention to cleanliness, especially when we draw and wipe articles, we should pay attention not to let hard knots fall into our eyes. In the workplace, safety regulations should also be observed, and safety equipment and tools should be used to avoid stabbing, collision and other accidents.
3. Prevention of eye injuries in children
The incidence of eye injuries in children is high, especially in play, sports and other activities. Parents need to give children enough attention and supervision, especially to avoid exposing them to sharp, throwing toys or equipment, such as slingshots, crossbows, etc. In addition, parents should give guidance on taking bicycles, scooters and other means of transportation to ensure that children wear helmets, knee pads and other protective equipment. For children who are learning stimulating sports, such as fencing and boxing, qualified and experienced professional coaches should be selected to ensure safety.
4. Select professional ophthalmic hospital for medical treatment
If eye injury happens accidentally, it is very important to see a doctor in time. In Guangzhou, there are many professional eye hospitals to choose from. For example, Guangzhou Eye Hospital is the only Grade III Grade A comprehensive hospital in Guangzhou that features ophthalmology. It has a high-level team of ophthalmologists and advanced equipment, which can provide comprehensive ophthalmic diagnosis and treatment services for patients. In addition, Guangdong Provincial People's Hospital Eye Center, Guangzhou Zhongshan Eye Center and other hospitals are also professional ophthalmic medical institutions.
