Firecrackling, fireworks dazzling, the atmosphere of the New Year is instantly full, Chinese New Year's Eve, 15 Yuan Festival night is the home of fireworks, every time, the hospital emergency department and ophthalmology will be extremely busy, among which there are not a few people injured by fireworks, everyone must take precautions.
As soon as the firecrackers go off, the ophthalmologist gets nervous. "During the Spring Festival, the ophthalmology department of Shaodong People's Hospital admitted 12 patients who had injured their eyes by fireworks.
According to ophthalmologist Su Shirong, four patients with eye trauma were admitted on the first day of the Lunar New Year, mainly young patients such as children and adolescents.
The most serious is an 18-year-old male patient from Huochangping Town, on February 10, when Xiao Zhu took his children to set off the "Cupola" fireworks at noon, he accidentally broke his eyeball, causing the eyeball to be injured by the fireworks, and the pain was unbearable. He was immediately sent to the ophthalmology department by his family.
When receiving the consultation, it was found that Xiao Zhu had blurred vision in his left eye. Dr. Su Shirong, who received the consultation, said that the examination showed a contusion of the left eye and hyphema in the anterior chamber. After more than ten days, Xiaozhu's intraocular hemorrhage was obviously absorbed, but the iris and retina were damaged, and the vision decreased significantly, from the original normal 10 down to 05. He was discharged from the hospital on February 21.
Fireworks and firecrackers for the New Year are festive, we must pay attention to safety, strengthen precautions, and don't let this kind of 'happy and sad' happen! Guo Chaoyi, director of the ophthalmology department of Shaodong People's Hospital, reminded the public that if the unfortunate eye is injured, the injured should be immediately covered with clean gauze or a towel.
What if I have an eye injury?
Keep in mind 4 don'ts!
1.Do not wash your eyes with water or apply ointment to your eyes, and do not cover your injured eyes with tissues or unclean towels to avoid aggravating the infection.
2.Do not rub the injured eyeball because the pressure will make the eye contents come out more severely.
3.Don't go far and see a doctor right away.
4.Don't drink water or eat. Surgery under general anesthesia may be required after the injury, and no food or drink should be taken before the procedure.
Warm reminder: The Lantern Festival is approaching, and it is a small peak of fireworks. Once again, the public is reminded that although the fireworks are beautiful, please watch them from a distance; Although firecrackers are festive, it is more important to set off them safely. I hope you will remember to be safe during the Spring Festival and have a safe and auspicious year in good health!
