Ocular Trauma
► Chemical
Burn
►Injuries
with chemicals require IMMEDIATE
treatment before history and examination
►Copious Irrigation with saline, hartmanns or water
►Topical local anaesthetic drops prior to irrigation
►IV tubing is a good delivery system
►Evert lids to remove particulate matter
►Check pH ( wait 5 minutes after irrigation)
►URGENT referral

► Chemical
Burn
►Acidic
agents generally cause less damage
►Grade and prognosis of burn determined by amount
of corneal damage and limbal ischaemia
►Limbal ischaemia is extremely important
► Demonstrates
level of damage
► Indicates ability of corneal stem cells to regenerate
damaged cornea
► Whiter eyes more alarming than red eyes
