Disinfection and debridement: For those whose eyelids are broken due to simple epidermal abrasion, normal saline can be used for washing, then povidone iodine solution is applied for disinfection, and sterile gauze piece is used for pressing until no bleeding occurs. Sterile gauze or band-aid can be used externally to prevent external infection.

If the wound is deep and below the dermis, it needs to be debrided and covered with sterile gauze in addition to disinfection. During debridement, it is necessary to soak with hydrogen peroxide and then rinse with normal saline to clean up the foreign body in the wound and avoid foreign body residue and anaerobic infection.

In addition to cleaning the wound, you need to see a doctor for suture to promote wound healing and reduce scar formation. If the swelling degree and valgus degree of the wound site are low, the wound skin is in good condition and there is no dislocation, the wound can be cleaned without suture;

Massage the wound immediately after injury or aggravate the subcutaneous hematoma with hot compress.

Periocular soft tissue laceration

It's just that the skin outside the eye is broken and the eyeball is not damaged.

Be sure to keep the wound clean, only use clean dressing, and send it to the hospital for debridement and suture as soon as possible to reduce the chance of falling off a large area of scar in the future.

Error handling:

Wipe the wound with dirty hands or dirty cloth; Casual use of hemostatic drugs, anti-inflammatory drugs or toothpaste will affect the doctor's treatment of wounds. Some people even use incense ashes and pot bottom ashes to stop bleeding, which will aggravate infection and even lead to tetanus.

Eyeball contusion

Eyeball is hit by blunt instrument, which damages eyelid, conjunctiva, sclera, cornea, lens, retina, optic nerve, or orbital fracture. Generally, they have abnormal vision.
