The Sclera Of The Eye Is Red And Sore After Being Stabbed With A Stick?

Hi Fatma,

The eye is an important organ because it functions as the sense of sight. Therefore, in the future, you should avoid playing with objects that are at risk of injuring your eyes.

Injury to the eye due to stabbing an object is a condition that must be treated immediately to prevent further complications. A pierced eye can cause several conditions, such as:

Damage to the cornea: keratitis, corneal ulcers, corneal scarring
Decreased visual acuity to blindness
Glaucoma
Retinal detachment
Increases the risk of cataracts

eye infection

Therefore, it is very important to check the condition of your friend's eyes. I suggest that your friend check with an ophthalmologist directly so that an examination can be done either by fundoscopy, visual acuity test, slit lamp, or tonometry to confirm the condition of his eyes. Furthermore, the ophthalmologist will provide the best treatment for your friend. The treatment given will be adjusted to the patient's condition, including the administration of topical drugs, oral medications, to actions such as vitrectomy if necessary. The earlier treatment is given, the risk of complications is expected to be reduced.

Here are some tips to do when you have an eye injury:

Don't rub or rub your eyes
Always wash your hands thoroughly before touching your eyes
If an object is stuck, go to the nearest emergency room immediately and do not try to remove the stuck object because it is feared that it will make the injury worse.
Close your eyes with sterile gauze and see a doctor immediately
