How to remove the foreign object from the eye?

According to Fars news agency’s health reporter, Hamed Ghasemi, surgeon and ophthalmologist and faculty member of Tehran University of Medical Sciences, talked about eye injuries on the last Wednesday of the year in the program of Sima’s health network.

The expert of the program stated that Farabi Hospital is on standby since a week before the last Wednesday of the year, and added: Every year, this hospital faces very heartbreaking scenes in the last days of the year.

This specialist in corneal stem cells considered eye injuries to be different from mild to complete blindness and said: Although the eye is protected by bone tissue, this organ is very delicate and the injuries are usually such that it affects a person’s vision. . These damages are not easily reversible.

Ghasemi continued: Unfortunately, the most eye injuries on Wednesdays happen to people who happen to be growing from the street or are watching these events from the balcony of their house, we call these people so-called “innocent bystanders”.

In response to the question that the heat of combustible materials causes damage to the eyes, the expert of the program said: There are two main mechanisms of damage to the eyes on the last Wednesday of the year; The first is the impact mechanism and the second is thermal burning.

Ghasemi added: Heat from the eyelids to the cornea damages the retina and the nerve of the eye, and sometimes this damage is so severe that nothing can be done for the victim, even due to the heat, different surfaces of the eye may stick together, which will take several years of treatment. follows

This surgeon and eye specialist considered such injuries in children to be associated with more problems and said: after the treatment and the return of the child’s vision, it may have caused the child’s eyes to become lazy, in which case the child will never find full vision.

Ghasemi, in response to the question, what should be done when a foreign object enters the eyes? He said: The first advice to young loved ones who use inflammable substances is to use at least the standard type of these substances, which are less dangerous, but if for any reason a foreign object enters the eye, do not manipulate it in any way, and put a protector on the eye. Go to the hospital’s emergency room.

He emphasized to those with eye injuries: Be sure to go to hospitals that have an ophthalmology emergency department, fortunately, university centers usually have such emergencies. and have 24 hours)

The expert of the program answered the question whether people who use glasses or contact lenses are at a lower risk. He said: When the light shines from a horizontal surface (while skiing or driving), these glasses remove disturbing waves.

He continued: Polarized glasses are for driving in deserts, skiers and mountaineers, and wearing UV400 glasses is sufficient for use in the city.

Ghasemi answered the question that how many surgeries are there to remove glasses? He said: We have two different approaches to remove glasses; The first is laser surgery on the cornea, which includes: LASIK, LASIK (femtolysic) and SMILE (femtosmile) and the second procedure is intraocular lens implantation (PRK).

Regarding the difference between these operations, he added: LASIK is a corneal surface treatment that usually hurts overnight and the final vision returns one or two months after the operation, but in Femtolysic and Femto Ismail surgery, the patient gets full vision immediately after the surgery.

The expert of the program considered Lasak to be one of the best types of laser surgery; Because it has the least amount of manipulation of the eye and the probability of dry eye and corneal keratoconus after surgery is also less, the only drawback of this operation is that the person feels discomfort and pain for a day or two, which is negligible compared to its benefits.

The faculty member of Tehran University continued: The choice of surgical technique is solely the responsibility of the doctor, who after pouring the drops and determining the eye number, the thickness of the cornea and the slope of the cornea are measured, and then the type of operation is chosen by the ophthalmologist, sometimes At the discretion of the doctor, the patient is free to choose his own operation.

In response to the question, why do some people still need to wear glasses after these surgeries? He said: these people must have reached the stability of the number of glasses before surgery; That is, they must be 18 years old and have not had an increase in their glasses score in the last six months, otherwise they may need to use glasses after these surgeries.
