A poked eye with constant tearing may be caused by damage to the corneal epithelium or conjunctival epithelium, which may be treated with medication as prescribed by the doctor, such as recombinant human epidermal growth factor eye drops. If the patient’s conjunctival tissue is lacerated, surgical suturing may be required.
When a patient is poked in the eye and has tearing, it is usually caused by damage to the cornea and conjunctiva, which are the tissues on the surface of the eye. For mild abrasions, patients can be treated with medications that promote epithelial tissue repair, such as recombinant human epidermal growth factor drops and recombinant bovine basic fibroblast growth factor drops, as prescribed by their doctor.
If the patient has a serious conjunctival laceration, the patient can be treated by surgery in order to suture the wound, so as to promote wound healing and relieve eye discomfort.
Patients with ocular trauma are advised to seek prompt medical attention to assess their condition and follow medical advice.
