🛑 What Causes Eye Trauma?
There are many everyday situations where eye injuries can occur:
Blunt trauma: Caused by a sudden impact from a ball, fist, fall, or car accident. It can lead to black eye, internal bleeding (hyphema), or retinal detachment.
Sharp object injuries: Nails, scissors, glass, or even fingernails can cut or puncture the eye, risking infections and permanent damage.
Chemical exposure: Accidental splashes of cleaning agents, acids, or industrial chemicals can burn the eye surface and lead to vision loss if not treated immediately.
Foreign bodies: Tiny particles like dust, sand, or metal fragments can enter the eye during construction, grinding, or outdoor activities, causing irritation, ulcers, or infections.
Radiation and UV exposure: Welding without protection or looking at intense light sources (like lasers or the sun) can cause photokeratitis – a painful eye burn.
Thermal burns: Hot oil, firecrackers, or steam can cause eyelid burns and corneal damage.
Sports injuries: Contact sports like cricket, badminton, or football without protective gear are a leading cause of traumatic eye injuries, especially in children and young adults.
⚠️ Why Is Eye Trauma Dangerous?
Even a small injury can lead to severe consequences like infection, scarring, glaucoma, cataracts, or permanent vision loss. Many patients delay treatment, assuming the injury is minor, only to face complications later. The eye is a delicate organ, and any damage—internal or external—should be examined by an eye specialist immediately.
