If hot oil is sprayed into the eyes, the patient should avoid rubbing the eyes, use saline or water to rinse the conjunctival sac, and follow the doctor’s instructions to use medication to alleviate eye discomfort.
Once the hot oil is sprayed into the eyes, it can cause thermal burns on the surface of the patient’s eyes, resulting in severe eye pain, foreign body sensation, tearing, loss of vision, photophobia and other uncomfortable symptoms. Patients need to avoid rubbing their eyes to avoid secondary damage.
Patients can use saline or water to rinse the conjunctival sac to cool down the temperature and flush out the oil droplets, and when rinsing, patients need to keep turning the eyeball to flush out the hot oil.
Patients can follow the doctor’s instructions to use recombinant human epidermal growth factor eye drops and other drugs to promote the repair of damage to relieve eye discomfort. Patients can also use tobramycin eye drops and other medications as prescribed by the doctor to prevent infection.
It is recommended that patients who get hot oil in their eyes seek prompt medical attention to evaluate their condition and follow doctor’s instructions for treatment.
