Health Tip: Understanding Eye Injuries in Kids
By LadyLively on May 4, 2015
Parents should know what to do if something gets in their child’s eyes or if the child suffers an eye injury.
The American Academy of Ophthalmology offers these suggestions:
- Never put pressure on, rub or touch an injured eye.
- If there is debris in a child’s eye, raise the eyelid and have the child blink quickly. If that doesn’t remove the object, seek immediate treatment. Never attempt to remove anything from a person’s eye.
- Don’t use an ointment in the eye.
- Carefully cover any puncture wound or cut, then seek immediate treatment.
- If a chemical splashes into the eye, flush it with lots of water. Do not use this method for any other type of eye injury.
