Chemical Eye Injury

Chemical Eye Injury

Chemical eye injury occurs when a chemical substance comes into contact with the eye. These types of injuries require immediate medical intervention, as they can lead to permanent vision loss if not treated quickly.

1. Symptoms

  • Severe eye pain and burning.
  • Redness and swelling.
  • Tearing and watering of the eye.
  • Extreme sensitivity to light.
  • Blurred or decreased vision.
  • Redness of the skin on the eyelids and around the eyes.

2. Emergency Response:

  • Immediate Cleansing: When a chemical substance gets into the eye, it is critical to clean the eyes immediately. The cleansing process is meant to remove the harmful substance and prevent further damage.
  • Cleansing With Water:
    • Use clean, cold water. Water will also help cool the eye during the cleansing process.
    • Tilt your head so that the affected eye is under the running tap water.
    • Open your eyes clearly against the flow of water and gently wash the eyes with circular motions.
    • It is important to continuously wash the eyes with clean water for at least 15-20 minutes.
  • If You Are Wearing Lenses: Remove your lens immediately and continue with the cleansing process.

3. Seeking Hospital Treatment:

  • Chemical injuries to the eye require immediate attention from a healthcare professional.
  • You should visit an eye doctor or emergency room.

4. Considerations:

  • Depending on the type of chemical substance, the cleansing process may vary. Especially in cases of exposure to acid or alkaline substances, seeking immediate professional help is critical.
  • Avoid using any substance other than water for cleansing, as some substances can cause more damage to the eye.
  • Starting the cleansing process immediately upon eye contact with any chemical substance is crucial. Prompt cleansing can reduce the risk of vision loss.

In cases of chemical eye injuries, urgent treatment is necessary. Therefore, start the cleansing process immediately and then seek a healthcare professional.
