How do I get my eyes checked after a fall?

After falling and damaging the eye, we should first determine whether it has caused obvious eye trauma, and then the patient needs to do visual acuity and intraocular pressure examination, and also need to do orbital CT and eye ultrasound and other examinations if necessary. 1. Determine whether eye trauma has been caused: After falling on the eye, the patient should first observe whether there is any bleeding in the eye, whether there is any eyelid laceration, whether there is any foreign body sensation, whether there is any blurred vision and other symptoms, in order to briefly assess the severity of the eye injury. 2. Visual acuity and intraocular pressure examination: eye trauma patients should first do visual acuity and intraocular pressure examination to determine whether there is any functional damage to the eye and intraocular pressure abnormality. If the vision of the affected eye is significantly reduced, fundus examination should also be done to determine whether there is hemorrhage in the fundus and whether there is retinal shock injury. 3. Orbital CT and ultrasound examination: If the patient has obvious orbital pain and bone friction sensation, orbital CT is also needed to determine whether there is any rupture injury of the posterior segment of the eyeball, fracture of the orbital bone, and damage to the optic nerve canal. In addition, in order to rule out the presence of retinal and choroidal detachment, an ultrasound examination of the eye is also needed. It is recommended that patients with traumatic eye injuries seek prompt medical attention to evaluate their condition and follow the doctor’s instructions for treatment.
