The stinging pain of welding injury is caused by the corneal epithelium burned by the strong light of welding, which is called photophthalmitis. It can be treated by the medication that promotes corneal repair, such as recombinant human epidermal growth factor drops, etc., and at the same time, it should be accompanied by more rest with eyes closed.
Photophthalmitis is a common disease in ophthalmology, which is easily caused by welding light stimulation and ultraviolet light irradiation, etc. It is related to the corneal epithelium of the patient being burned by the above factors, and there will be obvious eye pain, foreign body sensation, photophobia, tearing, etc. The patient should pay attention to close the eyes and rest more often.
Patients should pay attention to more rest with eyes closed, which can help repair the damaged corneal epithelium, and at the same time, they can also order medication in the eyes to promote corneal repair, such as recombinant bovine basic fibroblast growth factor eye drops, recombinant human epidermal growth factor eye drops, and so on.
Patients who are injured by the welding light to the eye, should promptly go to the hospital ophthalmology consultation, by the doctor after a clear diagnosis for targeted treatment.
