  • Exposure to harmful chemicals or splashes can lead to significant damage to the eyes. Rinse the affected eye(s) immediately with clean water and seek prompt medical attention.

  • When a foreign object is lodged in the eye, such as dust, metal shards, or small insects, it can lead to irritation, redness, intense discomfort, and the risk of damage or infection. It is important to refrain from rubbing the eye and to seek professional evaluation for safe removal of the object.

  • Corneal abrasions happen when the cornea's surface is scratched or harmed, resulting in pain, redness, and light sensitivity. They may be caused by foreign objects, contact lenses, or accidental rubbing of the eyes. Any suspected corneal abrasion should be assessed by an eye care professional to avoid potential complications.

  • Infections like conjunctivitis (pink eye), ocular shingles, and keratitis can be concerning. Common symptoms include redness, eye discharge, itching, and blurred vision. Timely diagnosis and treatment are crucial to prevent the spread of infection and relieve discomfort. It is advisable to discontinue wearing contact lenses and avoid using steroid drops.

  • Retinal detachment occurs when the retina separates from the back of the eye, often resulting in sudden flashes of light, floaters, a noticeable veil, or a curtain-like shadow across the visual field. This condition is a medical emergency, and prompt treatment is essential to preserve vision.

  • Injuries to the eye from accidents, sports-related incidents, or physical assaults can cause significant damage. Symptoms may include pain, bleeding, swelling, double vision, or changes in vision. Immediate medical attention is necessary to prevent permanent vision impairment.

  • Sudden vision loss can be caused by a variety of reasons and should be considered a medical emergency. It may be a symptom of conditions such as retinal detachment, macular degeneration, retinal artery occlusion, or a severe eye infection. Immediate medical attention is critical to assess the cause and provide appropriate treatment.
