No one will argue with the fact that his knee to hit and damage the eyes - the concept of non-comparable. The second is much more dangerous and often leads to much more serious than bruises or bumps. Anyone can hurt the eyes, at any age, and methods of first aid both children and adults the same. To the critical moment is not confused and know how to act, remember the main points of "emergency eye care."
Among all types of injury in children injured eyes occupy one of the first places. Teach children to care for their vision, to be closer to her eyes.
Consultation carries children's department head of the Kiev Center of Eye Microsurgery Elena Lepihova.
Eyewinker
Foreign body (speck, a grain of sand, feather), getting into the eye, usually ends up under the lower or upper eyelid. In no case can rub the eye or try to get the speck with a handkerchief or a piece of bandage.Without even noticing, you can injure the conjunctiva (the top layer of the outer membrane of the eye).
What should I do?
Blinked a few seconds, perhaps mote will pop up with tears. If not, wash the affected eye. Take anti-inflammatory anti-bacterial eye drops. Continually instill 3-5 drops 5-7 times in a row. If the hand did not have any of the drugs needed, use the normal boiled water, in extreme cases - with tap water. After a few treatments could move his eyes from side to side to steer foreign body "in the way." However, while you may think that the speck is still there, but it is not: just left feeling the presence of a foreign body. But if the next day you still feel uncomfortable - eyes red and watery, immediately go to an ophthalmologist.
Attention!
When washing the eyelids drag the thumb and index finger: a drop should fall directly in the eye slit.
Corrosive burn
Experts believe the chemicals are very dangerous for the eyes. And to them, of course, includes all household chemicals. Unfortunately, quite often the cause of injury is a disinfectant bath, or washing dishes. If the conjunctiva gets glue, acid or lye, is a severe burn. The sooner remove the remnants of these substances from the surface of the eye, the less serious the consequences.
What should I do?
Immediately call an ambulance, but before the arrival of the doctors wash eyes with plenty of water. If you know what got into the eye (or have the opportunity to read about it on the label means), it must be washed: with acid burns - an alkaline solution, and at alkaline - acidic.
There are three methods of irrigation: a pipette, a syringe without a needle or straight out of the cup (if you do not have either the first or second), and then have to drip into the eye of anti-inflammatory agent, put a piece of folded in several layers of bandage and secure with tape.
Cat's Claw
Each doctor will confirm that the cat scratches - a dangerous thing. If only the outer shell hit the eye, the wound will heal for a long time and the bad. And if the claw eyes hurt deeply, there is an instantaneous infection and inflammation develops quickly. The fact that the tip of the claw accumulate an incredible amount of pathogenic microorganisms.
What should I do? Antibacterial drip, put a bandage and immediately contact an ophthalmologist.
Blow your finger
If a stroke is weak, do not worry. If strong, it may suffer internal eye area - the middle membrane, equipped with a large number of vessels, without violating the integrity of the outer casing.
What should I do?
If you bounce the pain persists for several hours, and the "picture" was vague, immediately go to a specialist.
Tears in the wind
If you are on the street begin to tear your eyes, do not worry, this is normal. Tear - a natural protective environment, impeccable eye from the cold, wind and sunlight.
But if the eyes water in the room, this is not normal. Possible cause - blockage of the lacrimal canal. In newborns and infants from birth is slim pereponochka covering the tear duct, after a while it disappears by itself or after washing. In older children and adults with problems of obstruction may occur due to myocardial inflammation or injury, and eliminated in most cases, surgery.
Allergy
In addition to skin rash, cough and snotty nose, allergies may manifest in the form of conjunctivitis - inflammation of the thin outer shell. Coping with allergic conjunctivitis will help tandem allergist and ophthalmologist.
Computed fatigue
This term exists in theory but in practice very few people apply. Fatigue syndrome is a computer - the image of the collective, and includes a few points:
sitting behind the monitor, a man looks upward or straight ahead - eye muscles get tired faster;
color flow irritate the retina;
fascinated by the process, people "forget" to blink and the shell dries.
With prolonged use of the computer, these "production costs" lead to excessive fatigue, poor sleep, memory, appetite, dizziness and irritability. To avoid health problems, ophthalmologists are advised to carry out the monitor adult, 45 minutes, and a child - 15, and then have to make a break for 15-20 minutes. "Time out" is necessary, first of all eyes, so the TV and the book - not the best way to relax. It is advisable to lie down or sit with your eyes closed for 5-7 minutes, massaging the eye with fingertips to do gymnastics: could move his eyes from side to side, up - down, diagonally.
How to avoid injuries
In carpentry and plumbing work must wear protective goggles.
During a celebratory feast take away from the people opened the neck of a bottle of champagne, hold the cork tightly, covering cloth.
When you start the fireworks move away to a safe distance.
Try not to be too close when pouring oil onto a hot griddle.
Require mandatory compliance with safety rules while working with cutting, piercing objects and electrical equipment.
Special care should be to those who restored or corrected vision with surgery.
