Patients with congestion and bruising after being hit in the eye need to go to the ophthalmology department of the hospital in a timely manner for examination to clarify the severity of the injury, and then follow the doctor’s instructions to use physical therapy, medication, or surgical treatment, with the specific treatment modalities related to the severity of the patient’s condition.
After being hit in the eye, because of the mechanical stimulation caused by the eye blunt contusion, resulting in conjunctival congestion, but also because of the external force caused by the rupture of small blood vessels in the eye, causing subconjunctival hemorrhage and subcutaneous bruising. The patient should go to the ophthalmology department of the hospital for examination, and the doctor will clarify the severity of the injury, so as to avoid missing serious conditions such as rupture of the eyeball, dislocation of the lens, and detachment of the retina.
If the patient’s eyeball blunt contusion injury causes conjunctival congestion and eyelid swelling, the patient can apply cold compresses to the eye in the early stage, and apply hot compresses to the eyelid after 48 hours to promote the swelling of the eyelid to subside. If the eyelid subcutaneous bruising is obvious, the patient can take oral blood stasis medication to promote the absorption of bleeding, such as Yunnan Baiyao capsule.
If the patient has eyeball laceration or retinal detachment, the patient can have surgical treatment, such as eyeball wound laceration suture surgery, vitrectomy, etc., to improve vision and promote recovery.
It is recommended that patients with ocular trauma consult a doctor in time to assess their condition and follow the doctor’s instructions for treatment.
