Trauma & Restorative Surgery

Eye injuries are among the most complex and unpredictable challenges in ophthalmology. Unlike eye diseases, which follow typical patterns, eye trauma can involve multiple tissues of the eye and vary greatly from patient to patient. The extent of damage is often obscured due to corneal clouding, eyelid swelling, or bleeding, making early expert evaluation critical.

Common complications of eye trauma may include:

• Retinal detachment

• Lens displacement

• Presence of foreign objects

• Severe corneal damage or chemical burns

Since 1982, ocular trauma has been one of the specialized focus areas at Rana Hospital, where advanced techniques and dedicated research have helped restore vision and improve outcomes for complex trauma cases.

First Aid Guidelines for Eye Injuries

❌ Do not rub or apply pressure to the injured eye.

❌ Do not attempt to remove any penetrating objects.

✅ Flush with clean water for at least 20 minutes in case of chemical exposure.

❌ Do not bandage the eye tightly; apply only light covering without pressure.

✅ Seek immediate evaluation by an eye specialist.
