What should I do if I receive a heavy blow to the eye?
The first thing you should do is rinse your eye with saline solution but the most important thing is to go to the emergency department as soon as possible.
What should I do in the case of an eye burn?
In the case of an eye burn, you should distinguish whether it is a thermal burn (heat or fire) or a chemical burn (caused by a chemical substance). You should try to rinse your eye with water or saline solution immediately and the go to the emergency department as soon as possible. At the hospital the ophthalmologist will decide whether a special liquid needs to be applied to counteract the effects of the acid or alkali that burned your eye.
What should I do if an object has entered my eye?
If you have a foreign body in your eye, saline solution can be applied, taking special care not to touch the eye area. You should then go to the emergency unit where the ophthalmologist will be able to administer anesthetic and use special instruments to remove the object or foreign body from your eye.
