Symptoms include:
Visual loss
- Bleeding on the surface or inside the eye
- Tears in the outer ocular walls
- A foreign body inside the eye
The evaluation of sports-related eye injuries is the same as for other types of eye trauma. More emergent injuries, such as head trauma with loss of consciousness, are always treated first.
Treatment
Prompt first aid after eye injury. The recommended first aid involves placing a protective cover over the eye to prevent further damage. (If no shield is available, tape the bottom of a paper cup over the eye). Seek emergency care as soon as possible.
