Blunt contusion cataracts with receding atrial horns are serious

Blunt ocular contusions leading to cataracts and retrogression of the atrial angle are more serious conditions. Although there is no wound on the surface of the eye, the internal tissues and structures are damaged. For example, if the lens is impacted by an external force or metabolic changes, it will lead to the degeneration of its collagen, resulting in the formation of cataracts, which will affect the transparency of the refractive interstitium and lead to the patient’s visual acuity loss. The retrogression of the atrial angle is caused by the tearing of the structure of the atrial angle, which will easily lead to the formation of traumatic glaucoma due to the increase of the resistance to the drainage of the aqueous humor. Patients with these conditions should go to the ophthalmology department of the hospital in a timely manner. Surgery is usually needed to treat traumatic cataracts to improve the patient’s vision. As for the retrogression of the atrial angle, if there is secondary glaucoma, you can first use medication to lower the intraocular pressure under the guidance of the doctor, for example, ordering carteolol hydrochloride eye drops and so on. Surgery should also be considered when conservative treatment with medication is not effective.
