Eye injuries are usually minor, like getting dirt caught under your eyelid or washing shampoo into your eye. But others, like those that occur due to sporting activities can prove to be very serious.
Some common signs of an eye injury include: redness, stinging or burning, blurred vision and swelling of the eye. Minor injuries can often be treated by cleaning the eye with water, or saline eye wash; however more serious injuries can require medical attention. For injuries such as dirt or sand under the eyelid, never try to remove the irritant by any way other than by flushing it out.
When dealing with eyes, be sure to wash your hands before and after touching the eye area, flush the eye with water as soon as possible, remembering to use a steady stream of lukewarm water or if possible an emergency eyewash station.
Always seek medical care if the child has been hit in the eye, the area is red and swollen or if they are experiencing any eye discomfort.
Seek emergency care immediately if the child has any trouble seeing, severe eye pain or has blood in their eye.
