Oil splashes in the eyes can cause foreign body sensation, pain, photophobia, tearing, and loss of vision due to the high temperature of the hot oil itself and the chemical irritation of the oil droplets. Patients need to avoid rubbing their eyes to avoid secondary damage to the patient’s eyes.
Patients can use saline or water to rinse the conjunctival sac, which can not only play the role of cooling, but also be able to rinse out the oil droplets, thus reducing the damage. Then the patient should go to the ophthalmology department of the hospital as soon as possible, and follow the doctor’s instructions to use drugs to promote corneal repair, such as recombinant human epidermal growth factor drops, etc., to alleviate the discomfort of the eye.
It is recommended that patients with oil splashes in the eyes consult a regular hospital to assess their condition and follow the doctor’s instructions for treatment.
