If a nail falls into the eye, the patient should avoid rubbing the eye, and the patient should go to the hospital in time to have the nail removed under the guidance of a doctor.
If a nail accidentally falls into the eye, the patient should avoid rubbing the eye to avoid secondary damage to the eye. Patients can use saline to rinse the conjunctival sac to flush out the nail. If the nail is not flushed out, the patient should go to the hospital and have the nail removed by a medical professional under a microscope using microscopic tweezers to relieve the eye discomfort.
After the nail is removed, the patient’s cornea or conjunctiva should also be examined to see if there are any scratches. If there are any scratches, the patient can be treated with antibiotic drugs such as tobramycin drops and gatifloxacin drops under the guidance of the doctor to prevent infection.
It is recommended that patients with foreign objects falling into their eyes should seek timely hospitalization to assess their condition and follow the doctor’s instructions for treatment.
