Eye Trauma / Eye Injury

Eye trauma covers any injury to the eye, from minor scratches to serious blunt or penetrating injuries. The severity varies widely; any eye injury with reduced vision, severe pain, or visible damage needs urgent assessment.

• Pain
• Redness
• Swelling around the eye
• Blurred or lost vision
• Visible injury

• High-risk occupations without eye protection
• Participation in sports with a risk of eye injury
• Use of sharp tools or chemicals without proper precautions
• Failure to wear protective eyewear when appropriate

• Wear protective eyewear during sports and high-risk activities
• Use safety glasses in workshops and industrial settings
• Do not rub an injured eye; shield it and seek medical care

Treatment depends entirely on the type and severity of injury. Any penetrating eye injury is an emergency. Protective shields and urgent specialist referral are essential.
