The beginning of the New Year, during the Spring Festival, in this joyful and peaceful days, the Chinese traditional custom of fireworks, still be preserved, safe fireworks is to raise the warning year after year! But year after year there are still cases of loss of light because of fireworks. Eye trauma caused by fireworks is still dominated by adolescent children and young patients. Many of them are children aged 5 to 9 years old, and some of them are admitted with concealed conditions and delayed treatment. What is particularly noteworthy to parents is that some children use their own money to buy fireworks to play without their parents’ knowledge, and are afraid to tell their parents when their eyes are injured for fear of being scolded, which results in delaying medical treatment until the condition is very serious. Eye trauma is one of the three major causes of blindness Eye trauma, cataracts and corneal disease are the three major causes of blindness. Firework burns and explosions are the most common accidental eye injuries during the Chinese New Year. Every Spring Festival, hospitals admit many patients with eye trauma caused by fireworks. Patients with traumatic eye injuries may suffer from blast injuries to the skin of the eyelid and surface tissues of the eye, resulting in visual impairment; in severe cases, the skin of the eyelid is burned, the eye is contused or ruptured, blood accumulates in the eye, foreign bodies are retained, or even a large amount of eye contents are lost and the eye has to be removed. If the injury is serious, it can also be combined with cranio-cerebral trauma, and even life-threatening. If the best treatment time is delayed, the eye may become blind for life and cannot be recovered, and in severe cases, the eye may even be removed. However, if emergency treatment is provided after an eye trauma occurs, the outcome may be very different. Therefore, after an ocular trauma, self-judgment of the severity of the injury is the first thing to be taken into account. It is mainly based on vision, not on the appearance of the eye to determine the severity of the injury. The easiest way is to cover the good eye and check the vision of the affected eye. If the vision changes little, the injury is not too serious; if the vision decreases significantly, the injury may be serious even if there is no redness or hemorrhage in the appearance, and if there is a deformation of vision or a black shadow in front of the eye, it is possible that a retinal detachment or fundus hemorrhage has occurred, and the injured person should be sent to the hospital immediately. Eye trauma treatment tips A. External skin rupture of the eye without damage to the eye 1, must pay attention to keep the wound clean, do not use dirty hands or unclean cloth to wipe over the wound, so as not to cause infection to the eye and affect vision. 2.After dressing with a clean dressing, send the wound to the hospital ophthalmology department as soon as possible for debridement and suturing to reduce the chance of larger scars later. 3.If the eye is blunt impact or abrasion, the injured person may have a foreign body feeling in the eye, photophobia, lacrimation, and severe pain if the cornea is damaged. 4, at this time, such as chloramphenicol eye drops, can be used to point eye to prevent infection. And then cover the eye with clean gauze or handkerchief and go to the hospital for treatment. If the foreign body is directly pierced or cut through the eye, resulting in eye rupture 1, the patient feels a “hot tear” gushing out, followed by blurred vision and pain. 2, the patient immediately lie down, strictly forbidden to rinse the injured eye with water or apply any drugs, just cover the injured eye with a clean dressing, gently wrapped with bandages, pressure is strictly prohibited. 3, the purpose of the bandage is only to limit eye activity and friction aggravated injury, and to reduce the stimulation of light on the injured eye. All ocular trauma should be wrapped around both eyes to avoid friction caused by the other healthy eye activity driving the injured eye to turn, which will aggravate the injury.
