Use the Opthamologists guide to find an eye doctor. The one-stop resource will provide you with eye care and eyewear for optimal eyesight as well as ongoing emergency care for issues such as infection, scratched cornea, and foreign objects. A scratched cornea is a very serious issue and should be treated immediately by an Opthamologist. Being poked in the eye with a foreign object or rubbing your eye when there is a foreign object in it can result in permanent damage to the cornea. Opthamologists provide valuable insight into protecting your sight. Instructions from the eye doctor include immediately contact your physician and determining if an emergency room visit is necessary. A scratch can result in infection due to the scratching the eye surface with a contaminated object. The infection could result in serious complications and having the eye treated within 24 hours will greatly diminish the risk of infection. It is very important that you do not rob your eye or cover it with an eye patch but immediately seek medical help. Protecting your eyes is vital. Protective eyewear should be used when weed-whacking, sawing, and doing a variety of other projects that result in floating particles of wood, metal, and debris.
Experiencing a foreign object in your eye could also result in superficial damage. If you think the object in your eye is a metal shard then you must immediately see a Opthamologist or visit the ER. Foreign objects could include a wood splinter, dirt, sand, eyelash, or a metal shard. Having an object in your eye will induce tearing, burning, blurry or obstructed vision, pain, and possibly the inability to open your eye. If this occurs you should flush the eye with a large amount of saline solution. Saline solution is the best choice but if it is unavailable flush the eye with distilled or tap water. Hold a glass of water over the eye and tilt your head back. You could also cup your hands beneath running water and put your open eye in your cupped hand. Another choice would be to allow water to run directly into your eye by utilizing a garden hose for a shower.
Medical assistance from an opthamologist must be sought immediately if the foreign object is metal shards because they rust quickly and have a potential to cause scarring. If you believe the substance is metal then immediately seek emergency assistance (rather than flush). Eye doctors warn patients to be cautious not to scrape the cornea while using a cotton swab or tissue to remove an object that is unable to be flushed out. If after removing the wood, eyelash, or metal shards as gently as possible with a tissue or cotton swab, you continue to experience tears, pain or can still feel a remaining object it is important that you seek immediate medical attention. Having continued symptoms could indicate corneal separation (this often includes infection) so if you experience this immediately visit a eye doctor or the ER.
Having a reliable eye doctor to provide you with excellent ongoing care as well as emergency care is extremely important. Utilize the online directory to locate an opthamologist in your area. Your physical health is directly impacted by your eyesight’s health. Visiting an opthamologist will ensure that you are free of diseases such as glaucoma and that you are provided with adequate emergency care as well. Simply enter your zip code and within seconds you will have a listing of eye doctors who service your locality.
