How to do when your eyes are burned by fire

Ocular burns are common burns in clinical practice and it is necessary to distinguish between the classification of ocular burns, eyelid burns or ocular burns. Eyelid burns are divided into conventional burns, first-degree burns, second-degree burns, and third-degree burns. If the eyelid burn is a first-degree burn, no special treatment is needed for the time being, as long as cool water is used to flush it. If the burn is a second-degree burn, the wound needs to be treated with topical anti-inflammatory medication and medication to promote healing. In the case of a third-degree burn, the eyelid burn will cause ectropion of the conjunctiva, which requires an incision of the lid capsule to relieve the conjunctival ectropion, a cut in each of the upper and lower eyelids, and after the cut, the ectropion is retracted to reduce the damage to the patient’s eye, and later on a scar contracture or defect will require surgical repair and reconstruction treatment. If the eye is burned and the cornea is not injured, simple eye drops, such as tobramycin eye drops or calf blood deprotein drops, can be used to promote the recovery of the eye. If the cornea is injured, or if the cornea is injured deep, it may require a combination of burn surgeon and ophthalmologist to treat the disease, and the disability rate is particularly high. Most fire burns are concentrated on the eyelids, and the patient will do active eye closure at the time of the burn. The most common eye burns are chemical burns, a drop of sulfuric acid, a drop of hydrochloric acid up, too late to close the eyes acid went in, relatively speaking, chemical burns of the eyeball burns are more common, fire burns of the eyelid burns are more common. I hope that when patients encounter eye burns, they must seek medical attention in a timely manner so as not to delay the time of rescue.
