Question
Eye injuries can sometimes be accompanied by flashes of light in the eye. What kind of consequences might this lead to?
Answer
Eye injuries can sometimes lead to the lens being attacked by immune cells, triggering an immune response. In such cases, the injured eye may cause the other eye to also become inflamed and necrotic. However, this situation usually only occurs within 24 to 48 hours after the injury. Since this patient has not shown any related symptoms for over two years, this indicates that there has been no impact. Nevertheless, a check-up is still necessary to determine the current situation and whether surgery is needed, which can only be confirmed after the examination.
