What to do if your eyes are injured by welding light

Electric welding is widely used in this industry. As a welder, you must do a good job of protection in your daily work, because if you are not careful at work, it may cause eye injuries. After all, the welding light is very strong. If it irritates the eyes, it will often cause tears. When this happens, you should apply cold compresses in time to prevent infection.

What to do if your eyes are injured by welding light

Electric welding is not something that ordinary people can do, as it is very dangerous. Generally, men are engaged in this industry. There are women too, but they are very few. Once an accident occurs, it must be dealt with in time, otherwise it will be really dangerous if it hits the eyes. 1. If there happens to be a breastfeeding woman around you, you can take a little breast milk and drop it on your eyes. Although this method is a bit difficult, it is the most effective, especially for some novice welders who often use this method. 2. If there is no female friend who is breastfeeding around you, you can prepare a towel, wrap ice cubes in the towel and apply ice compress to your eyes. If there are no ice cubes, you can also soak the towel in cold water and apply cold compress. This mainly plays a role in reducing swelling and relieving pain.

Precautions

When walking, you should avoid construction sites, and welders should also take precautions.

Electric welding can cause photoelectric eye inflammation, which causes tears when exposed to light, red, swollen and painful eyes, and a sandy feeling in the eyes. The most effective and simple method is to put a cold towel on the eyes, and change the towel to a cold towel after it is heated up, and change it frequently. If human milk is not used, it is most effective to drop it into the eyes. If fresh milk is not used, drop it into the eyes, and the pain will soon go away.

Preventing electric welding holes

The key to treating photoelectric ophthalmia is pain relief, calmness and infection prevention. 1. Apply cold compress to the eyes, ask the patient to close his eyes, and then apply a cold towel to the eyes. 2. Use fresh human milk to drip into the eyes, 3-5 drops into each affected eye. Do not open your eyes immediately after dripping the milk. Close your eyes for 3-5 minutes. Repeat this procedure every 2 hours. 3. Use chloramphenicol eye drops, erythromycin eye ointment and other eye drops to prevent infection.
