Something got into my eye and it hurts

Some people may experience eye pain due to foreign objects accidentally entering their eyes, accompanied by tearing, swelling, pain and corneal ulcers. If something accidentally gets into the eyes, it is necessary to continuously rinse with saline.

The common types of poisoning eye symptoms and diagnosis are briefly described below:

1. Salicylic acid

⑴ Aspirin poisoning may cause eyelid edema, eyelid drug rash, subconjunctival hemorrhage, scattered translucent blisters on the cornea, transient pupil reaction disorders, retrobulbar neuritis of the optic nerve, and no abnormalities in the eye muscles and visual fields, but vision may change.

⑵Aminopyrine poisoning may cause binocular visual impairment, severe eye pain, red and swollen eyelids, difficulty closing the eyelids, and small red drug rashes on the skin. Conjunctival hyperemia, herpetic conjunctivitis. The cornea is infiltrated and turbid, and the corneal epithelium is detached in the form of bubbles. The pupil is dilated and optic nerve atrophy can be seen in the fundus.

2. Antibiotics

⑴ Sulfonamide poisoning may cause eyelid edema, conjunctival edema, mydriasis, iris and ciliary body edema, papilledema, optic neuritis, optic nerve atrophy, retinal edema, which is more obvious in the posterior pole, temporary refractive error, lateral rectus muscle paralysis, central scotoma, and reduced visual field.

⑵Streptomycin poisoning may cause eyelid edema, pupil constriction, extraocular muscle paralysis, central chorioretinitis, optic neuritis, and narrowing of the visual field. Ocular symptoms will improve after drug withdrawal.

⑶ Penicillin poisoning may cause eyelid edema, conjunctival congestion and edema, corneal surface infiltration and ulcers, retinal edema and retinal phlebitis in the fundus.

Mitigation methods

The essence of eye movement is to rotate the eyeballs. The order is that when the head rotates from top to bottom and then left to right, the eyeballs move along with it. Relax your eyes for 2 minutes every time you work for 1 hour, and rotating your eyes can greatly relieve computer eye fatigue.
