First aid measures for eye injuries

1. Wash eyes immediately

After eye trauma occurs, the first step is to immediately flush the injured eye with clean physiological saline or water. This helps remove foreign bodies, reduces pain, and prevents further infection. Remember not to touch your eyes with dirty hands to avoid bacterial infection.

If the foreign body is large and cannot be removed by yourself, you should go to the hospital immediately to avoid further damage to the eyes.

2. Do not rub or press eyes

After eye injury, do not rub or press eyes. Doing so will aggravate eye damage and increase the risk of bleeding or other complications. At the same time, it is also necessary to avoid forcibly holding the eyes or using eye masks with too much force to avoid pressing the eyes.

It should be noted that if there is a foreign object stuck in the eye, do not take it out with your fingers to avoid further damage to the cornea and other structures. See a professional ophthalmologist for treatment immediately.

3. Eye coverage

The affected eyes can be covered in first aid, and clean gauze or medical dressing can be used. Covering the eyes can effectively avoid further damage and infection, and reduce pain. But be careful not to stick too tightly to avoid pressing the eyeball and causing other problems.

4. Get medical attention in time

No matter how serious the eye injury is, you should seek medical advice in time after the injury. Ophthalmologists can conduct a comprehensive examination of the eyeball, eyelid, lacrimal gland, etc., and formulate a correct treatment plan according to the situation. Early medical treatment can avoid complications and restore eye function as soon as possible.
