Bumps and bumps are always inevitable in life. Who hasn’t bumped their head against the corner of the table? Who hasn’t had their hip bone bump against the armrest? However, most of these bumps were minor injuries, at most a bump or bruise.
But Mr. Hua did not expect that he accidentally fell down when he got up at night and hit his eye on the corner of the table. He thought it was nothing serious at the time. But the examination results the next day frightened me: my right eyeball was ruptured and I was in danger of going blind.
html At 10:50 a.m. on August 4, a 59-year-old man, accompanied by his family, rushed to the emergency room of Changsha Aier Eye Hospital : He originally just got up in the dark to go to the toilet, but unexpectedly tripped and was knocked by the leg of the bedside table. The right eye was injured, and Mr. Hua's eyes were closed tightly, with blood stains remaining on his right eye...Zhu Jundong, director of the Emergency Department and Ocular Trauma Department, who received the examination, found that Mr. Hua's right eyeball had been ruptured. The right eye had conjunctival congestion, edema, , a scleral laceration about 2 mm long, and a large hole above the eyeball. Before the operation, only light perception vision was left. In the future, there may be eye inflammation, continuous tears, infection, , etc. The risk is that if it is not treated in time, the probability of infection will be very high and the eyeball may not be saved.
At present, only debridement and suture operations can be performed on his eyeballs. Whether he needs another operation remains to be seen. "Visual vision will definitely be damaged, and there is even a possibility of blindness." Director Zhu Jundong said, "What we have to do now is to do everything we can. Maybe he can save his eyeball!"
After thorough examination, Mr. Hua was sent to the operating room, and the operation went smoothly. After several days of treatment, the congestion in Mr. Hua's right eye was relieved and he was discharged from the hospital smoothly. Timely treatment bought him precious time to save his vision!
Director Zhu Jundong introduced that eyeball rupture is a serious eye injury caused by the rupture of the eyeball wall tissue caused by violence. After the eyeball is ruptured, the transparent refractive medium and light-sensitive retina will be affected, and severe vision loss may occur.
At the same time, intraocular bleeding often occurs, which affects vision. After injury, sympathetic ophthalmia can occur, potentially leading to blindness. If an intraocular infection occurs, even if it is treated in time, it will be difficult to maintain the original visual function.
Director Zhu Jundong reminded that eye injuries should be fully prevented in daily life. If you are accidentally injured , especially if the eyeball becomes red or bleeding, you should immediately cover the injured eye with a clean cloth, raise your head, and send it to the nearest hospital in a semi-recumbent position. Do not rub your eyes to avoid missing the mark. The best time for treatment.
