How to Care for Your Injured Eyes

Posted on November 27, 2009 with No Comments

There are many instances where one gets their eyes injured. It is best to know one’s own eyes and the eye pain they are experiencing, along with proper eye pain treatment when injuries happen. This way, when you are in a situation where your sense of sight is threatened or harmed, you know what to do before your ophthalmologist gets to your aid.

Before that, understand that in every eye injury, it should be determined if the symptoms are intraorbital or intraocular. If the vision is decreased and experiencing severe eye pain with double vision, then there is an intraorbital situation in your eyes. On the other hand, intraocular renders eye pain and decreased vision, but at an earlier stage, there may be no symptoms at all. Take note also of ultraviolet keratitis wherein there is redness and eye pain, sensitivity to light and that “something in the eye” sensation.
