Yangtze River ** Wuhan Client, December 23 (Correspondent Pei Nishang) A 4-year-old girl in Huangpi was playing with a pencil when her eye was poked by a pencil. On December 21, after the operation, the child's vision was restored to a certain extent** and he was discharged from the hospital, but he still needs to return to the hospital for regular reexaminations after that.
Xuanxuan, 4 years old this year, lives in Huangpi. Last Wednesday, she was playing with other children when she was stabbed in her left eye with a pencil, and she cried in pain. Xuanxuan's father hurriedly sent her to Aier Eye Hospital affiliated to Wuhan University for treatment.
Wang Guohua, chief physician of the fundus disease department of the hospital, received Xuanxuan. Upon examination, Xuanxuan had a 3 5 mm lamellar penetrating wound next to the cornea**, during which a large number of pencil shavings remained, and a pen lead about 4 mm long was also visible in the anterior chamber. In the end, Xuanxuan was diagnosed with corneal perforation injury in the left eye, an intraocular foreign body in the left eye, and traumatic cataract in the left eye.

Last Thursday, under general anesthesia, Director Wang Guohua performed intraocular foreign body removal in the left eye and corneal laceration suture in the left eye for Xuanxuan.
The wound was 5 mm long, but fortunately, the wound was not in the middle of the cornea, and it did not pierce the pupil. Director Wang Guohua said that after eye trauma surgery, the ocular surface will leave a scar, and if the wound is just in the pupil area of the optic pathway, it will have a great impact on vision.
Director Wang Guohua reminded that when eye trauma occurs, do not panic, and do not treat the wound by yourself. It is recommended to cover the injured eye with clean gauze and a towel, and go to the nearest professional eye hospital for treatment.
When you go to the doctor, remember to bring the injury with you, which can help the doctor analyze the injury and make a more accurate treatment. Director Wang Guohua reminded that residual foreign bodies in the eye may induce infection, inflammation, and risk of blindness. For eye injuries such as pencils and chemicals, you should bring the causative materials with you when you go to the doctor.
He called on parents to do a good job in their children's safety education. Children are curious and have a weak sense of safety, so it is forbidden for children to use sharp objects such as pencils and scissors as toys to avoid accidents. In the unlikely event that a foreign body is inserted into the body, you should seek medical attention as soon as possible, and do not blindly deal with it, so as not to accidentally injure the peripheral blood vessels or cause the foreign body to rupture and remain in the body.
