| Eye Injuries |
The eyes are our windows to the universe. These wondrous but delicate organs are
protected by the bony socket which contains them. They are additionally
protected by the lids which can close the eyes in a’blink’. However, inspite of
the protection that nature has provided, the eyes are vulnerable to injury from
various agents around us.
The common sources of injury are:
Mechanical
- Blunt (balls, fists, corner of furniture)
- Sharp objects (pencils, pens, scissors,knives, sticks, sewing or knitting needles, etc.)
Chemical
Holi colours, acids
and alkalis in the laboratory or bathroom cleaners, or plant juices)
