Question

What should be done if an eye injury leads to a corneal tear?

Answer

The treatment for corneal tear depends on the severity of the injury. If the injury is minor, antibiotic eye drops and other topical medications can be used to promote corneal healing. For severe, penetrating injuries, ophthalmic corneal debridement surgery may be necessary. It is recommended to seek medical attention for a detailed examination as soon as possible. Additionally, maintaining good physical and mental health, along with personal hygiene, is also very important to prevent bacterial infection.
