Corneal Abrasion: Scratch on the Eye Surface •Corneal Abrasion is a condition where the outer layer of the cornea gets scratched or injured.• It can occur due to dust particles, accidental fingernail injury, contact lens misuse, or rubbing the eyes. •Even a small scratch can cause significant discomfort because the cornea is very sensitive.• Symptoms include sharp eye pain, redness, watering, blurred vision, light sensitivity, and a feeling of something stuck in the eye.• Most minor abrasions heal quickly within a few days with proper care, but untreated cases can lead to infection. •Management includes avoiding eye rubbing, using prescribed lubricating or antibiotic eye drops, and resting the eyes. •Contact lenses should be avoided until complete healing. •At Paavai Eye & Skin Care Hospital, Salem, we provide prompt evaluation and treatment to ensure quick healing and prevent complications. •Early care helps protect your vision and eye health. #CornealAbrasion #EyeCare #EyeInjury #HealthyEyes 👁️
