After the patient’s eye is hit by the elbow, if the eye does not have any discomfort, it can be observed and followed up. If the patient’s eyes show symptoms such as conjunctival congestion, swelling, and blurred vision, medication, physical therapy, or surgery can be used as prescribed by the doctor, and the specific treatment is related to the patient’s condition.
If the patient’s eyes are hit by the elbow with less force and no obvious discomfort, usually no special treatment is needed, and observation and follow-up can be done. If the patient’s eyes are swollen, short-term patients can apply cold compresses to the eyes, and after 48 hours of trauma, localized hot compresses can be applied to the eyes to promote the swelling to subside.
Patients with obvious subcutaneous bruising can also use Yunnan Baiyao capsules, panax ginseng tablets and other drugs to promote the absorption of hemorrhage to relieve eye discomfort.
If the patient has retinal detachment, anterior chamber blood and other serious lesions, the patient needs to undergo surgical treatment, such as anterior chamber irrigation, vitrectomy, etc., to promote the recovery of the condition and improve vision.
It is recommended that patients with ocular trauma seek timely medical attention to assess their condition and follow the doctor’s instructions for treatment.
