Question
What should I do if scissors scratch my baby’s eye corner? My baby is one year and one month old, and accidentally, the scissors scratched the right eye corner, with two small red spots right next to the eye, and the edges are a bit red. What should I do?
Answer
The child’s eyes have sustained another injury. If you’re unsure about the severity of the situation, it’s best to visit the hospital as soon as possible. After all, children are too young for eye injuries that could potentially disrupt the growth and development of their vision. The longer you wait, the less likely it is for a complete recovery. If the cornea is not damaged, applying Lomoxacin eye drops and using a warm compress can help the healing process along quickly.
