Eye pain caused by welding is due to electro-optic ophthalmia, which needs to be relieved by topical cold compresses and medication that promotes corneal repair, but there is no fastest way to treat it.
Welding bright light stimulation eyes will burn the corneal epithelium, causing corneal epithelial damage, resulting in severe eye pain, known as photophthalmitis.
1. Local cold compresses: patients pay attention not to rub the eyes, you can use ice packs or ice towels to do cold compresses to the eye to relieve pain, the principle is to reduce the temperature of the local tissues, so that the sensitivity of the pain sensory nerve fibers decreased.
2. Points to promote corneal repair drugs: patients also need to point in the eye to promote corneal repair drugs to accelerate the healing of corneal injury, such as recombinant human epidermal growth factor eye drops, calf serum deproteinized extract ophthalmic gel and so on.
The patient engaged in welding work after the symptoms of eye pain, should promptly go to the hospital ophthalmology consultation, by the doctor after a clear diagnosis for treatment.
