Ruptured eye injury, treatment needs to be timely

Life is good, but sometimes, it’s not as good as it could be. Due to work, life, or unexpected events, the window to our soul, our beautiful eyes, can be traumatized. A minor eye surface abrasion will heal after two days of rest, however, the eye is delicate and extremely fragile, and unfortunately, it can’t take the external force and ruptures. In severe cases, the eye suffers from devastating injuries such as corneal fragmentation, lens dislocation, vitreous overflow, retinal detachment, intraocular hemorrhage, eye collapse, vision loss or loss of vision. Some may also have foreign bodies entering, such as iron filings, wood chips, glass, etc., incurring infection. Urgent surgery is usually limited to surgical conditions only to give the eye wound suturing, hemostasis and anti-infection treatment. The preservation and restoration of visual function is only considered later. However, this treatment window is very short. As with other areas such as skin cuts on the hand, the wound eventually heals in the form of a scar. The healing of ocular trauma is no exception. The surface of the eye can grow firmly after suturing, but it is bad if scar adhesions form inside the eye. The longer the detachment, the more severe the wrinkling, the less chance of surgical flattening and the less chance of restoring visual function. The scar formation after the injury is usually around two weeks, so it is important to hurry up before this time for the chance of reoperation. It is possible to preserve visual function by clearing the injury tract, removing accumulated blood, and resetting the retina. Currently, due to advances in technical equipment, some scholars advocate earlier surgery, such as one week, or when the edema reaction is not obvious. In many clinical cases, due to the lack of relevant knowledge, the best time for treatment was missed, and finally only the shape of the eye had to be preserved and vision was lost, and some had to remove the eye to assemble a prosthetic eye, which caused adverse effects to the patient psychologically and physiologically.
