Ocular Trauma — What To Do in the First 10 Minutes
25 November 2025
Eye Health
Eye injuries happen suddenly — a child gets hit by a cricket ball, a worker gets dust or metal particles in their eye, or someone accidentally rubs chemical sanitizer into their eyes.
In those first few minutes, panic is natural. Patients come rushing to Dr. Anushka’s Super Speciality Eye Hospital saying,
“Doctor, I didn’t know what to do… I just washed it… I hope I didn’t make it worse.”
This blog is written to guide every family in Bhiwandi on what to do — and what NOT to do — in those crucial first 10 minutes.
Your quick action can save someone’s vision.
First Rule: Stay Calm But Act Fast
Eye trauma is an emergency. Your actions in the first few minutes determine how much damage can be prevented.
1. If Dust, Sand, or Foreign Particle Enters the Eye
Do:
- Wash the eye with clean running water or saline.
- Blink continuously to flush out debris.
Avoid:
- Rubbing the eyes
- Using kajal, rose water, or home remedies
Even small particles can scratch the cornea.
2. If a Chemical Enters the Eye (Acid, Sanitizer, Soap, Bleach)
This is one of the most dangerous types of trauma.
Do:
- Immediately rinse the eye for 15 minutes straight
- Use tap water, bottle water, or saline — whatever is closest
- Remove contact lenses gently
Avoid:
- Neutralizing with another chemical
- Waiting for pain to settle
Chemical burns need emergency care within 30 minutes.
3. If an Object Hits the Eye (Cricket ball, fist, elbow)
Symptoms may include:
- Redness
- Pain
- Watering
- Blurry vision
- Double vision
Do NOT press the eye.
Do NOT apply ice directly to eyeball.
Do NOT ignore it — internal bleeding or retinal damage is common.
Apply cold compress around the eye, not on it, and visit the hospital immediately.
4. If Something Is Stuck or Embedded in the Eye
For example: metal, wood splinter, fish hook.
DO NOT remove it yourself.
DO NOT wash the eye.
DO NOT apply pressure.
Cover the eye lightly with a clean cloth and rush to the hospital.
Removing it wrong can lead to permanent vision loss.
5. If There Is Bleeding, Swelling, or Sudden Vision Loss
This could mean:
- Hyphema (blood inside the eye)
- Globe rupture
- Retinal detachment
- Orbital fracture
This requires urgent, specialist-level care.
