What to Do If a Child Gets Their Eye Hit by a Phone?

Question

My child is 12 years old and got hit in the eye by a phone last night. We went to the hospital last night and they said it was fine, but the eye is still swollen and bruised. We have already applied ice packs. Do we need to continue with the ice packs today?

Answer

It is recommended to go to the ophthalmology department again today for a check-up, and to have an orbital CT scan done to check for any fractures in the orbital bone. Please first check for any issues around the orbit and eyelids, as well as the intraocular pressure. If everything is fine, you can continue with the ice packs. This is the suggestion for the question ‘What should you do if a child gets hit in the eye by a phone at 12 years old?’ I hope it helps, and wish you health!
