What symptom does corneal rupture have?

summary

In fact, corneal rupture is not common, but if the patient has corneal abrasion and contusion in life, it will lead to corneal rupture. At the beginning, the patient may only have edema in the corner of the eye, but because there is no timely treatment, the disease will not be controlled, and eventually cause corneal edema and turbidity, Serious violence can cause corneal rupture. At this time, it will do great harm to the eyes of patients, so corresponding treatment should be taken.

What symptom does corneal rupture have?

Once corneal rupture occurs, it must be treated in time. Infection, intraocular hemorrhage, and even sympathetic ophthalmia are easy to occur after ocular trauma, which can lead to blindness. Once the eye is injured, there is obvious pain and foreign body feeling, to the first time to the hospital. Generally speaking, if the corneal rupture is greater than 3 mm, the wound should be sutured. If it is less than 3 mm, it depends on whether there is anterior chamber effusion. If not, conservative treatment can be done, but there will be photophobia and difficulty in opening eyes.

The effect of corneal rupture on vision depends on the location of corneal rupture, because the cornea has been perforated, and there will be residual corneal leukoplakia. If the corneal leukoplakia is in the center of the optic axis, it will have a great impact on vision, but the corneal leukoplakia will not increase with age. Generally speaking, corneal rupture and perforation at least to more than 3 months to fully grow well. After corneal rupture, in the treatment, we should first check whether there are foreign bodies in the eye, and then suture the wound after confirming that there are no foreign bodies.

If corneal rupture has a great impact on vision, resulting in low vision and blindness, corneal transplantation should be considered. Cornea is the window for light to enter the eyeball. If the cornea is infected or injured, it will lead to corneal haze, decrease or even disappear of light transmittance, resulting in blindness. Corneal transplantation can restore the eyes to a better vision.

matters needing attention

Surgical treatment, because corneal rupture is the most serious case of this disease, the effect of other methods is not particularly good, but if the patient does not take radical treatment for a long time, then the condition will be more serious, so only surgery can be used. When patients with this disease, in all parts of life need to pay attention to, don't let their condition continue to aggravate, if it really to rupture when it is very troublesome.
