What should I do if I get glass in my eye?

Glass slag into the eye, the patient must be careful not to rub the eye, not to press the eye, and then immediately to the hospital ophthalmology department and remove the glass slag, follow the doctor’s instructions for medication. Glass slag is very sharp, easy to scratch the cornea and conjunctival tissue after entering the eye, at this time if you rub the eye, may lead to further aggravation of the scratch. If the force of the glass slag splash is very large, it may break through the wall of the eyeball and enter into the eyeball, forming an intraocular foreign body, at this time, if the eye is pressed, it may lead to the ocular contents to flow out through the wound, aggravating the injury. Therefore, after the occurrence of the above situation, patients must pay attention to not rubbing and pressing the eye. The patient should go to the ophthalmology department of the hospital in time, and the doctor will find out the severity of the injury. Glass debris located on the surface of the eyeball can be removed by the doctor, and the symptoms of eye discomfort can be relieved, while glass debris that has entered the inner part of the eyeball needs to be removed by emergency surgery, such as intraocular foreign body removal surgery. After surgery, patients can follow the doctor’s instructions to use medication, such as tobramycin eye drops, recombinant bovine basic fibroblast growth factor eye drops, etc., to prevent infection and promote the repair of corneal damage. It is recommended that patients with intraocular foreign bodies seek timely medical attention to evaluate their condition and follow the doctor’s instructions for treatment.
