Every year around the Spring Festival, many children will have eye injuries and even blindness due to fireworks. The most regrettable of these children is the one who was injured by a firecracker and suffered a second injury to his or her eye, which caused irreparable consequences. So what to do after fireworks hurt your eyes?What can we do to prevent them from getting hurt again?Here, I would like to share my own experience, which I hope will be helpful to you.

1. First of all, parents should judge the severity of firecracker injuries. If it is only burns caused by firecrackers or fireworks, red and swollen eyelids, and burns on eyelashes and eyebrows, parents can clean up the dirt around the eyelids by themselves, rinse the eyes with water, and then seek medical attention in time. We should pay attention to these issues.

2. If the child is injured by firecrackers or fireworks, and the eyes are sore, red, and do not open the eyes, you should seek medical attention as soon as possible. If the impact of fireworks is very strong, and the impact injury is located around the eyelids, even if there is no obvious wound in the eye, it is necessary to seek medical attention in time, and the symptoms of photophobia and tearing appear.

3. After firecrackers hurt the eyes, parents often deal with the wrong way: rubbing the eyes, we should avoid rubbing the eyes with our hands, rubbing the eyes not only can not relieve the discomfort, but may aggravate the trauma;Forcibly opening the eyelids or applying eye drops can not only cause re-injury, but also infection. Therefore, parents must avoid these misunderstandings.

Accident prevention is paramount. Parents should not neglect not to let their children set off fireworks alone. It's best to stay away from fireworks and don't let them become "sight killers".
