Eye Wounds - Causes, Symptoms and Treatment of Eye Wounds and Eye Injury

Cuts to the eye can be very frightening and even small, difficult to notice injuries are potentially very serious.
However, medical treatments mean that even injuries that appear to be very severe may not necessarily result in the loss of sight in the eye. Do not touch the affected eye.

Signs and symptoms of eye wounds

. Knowing that something has impacted with the eye - this could be as small as a grain of sand or a splinter

. Pain in the eye

. Loss or limitation of vision

. Bleeding

TREATMENT of Eye Wounds

Prevent further injury and get medical help as soon as possible.

1. Lie the person down, on his back if possible, and hold the head to prevent movement and keep it stable.

2. Ask the person to try to keep his eyes still to prevent movement of the injured eye. Ask the person to focus on something to prevent movement.

3. Ask the casualty to hold a clean pad over the eye to help prevent movement and infection. If the wait for an ambulance or other further help may take some time, you may wish to hold the pad for the person or to gently bandage it in place.
However, as blood loss from the eye area is not likely to be life-threatening, any bandage should be used only to hold the pad in place and not to apply pressure.

Do not attempt to remove any object embedded in the eye. If the object is very long, then gently support it to prevent movement at its base.
If small, ensure that the pad you place over the eye does not push it in any further.
