The Debridement To Treat The Traumatic Corneal Abrasion

Traumatic corneal abrasion (TCA) refers to the injury or defect of the corneal epithelium caused by a foreign object (such as a nail, a tree branch, etc.), which is characterized by severe eye pain accompanied by red eyes, blepharospasm, photophobia, tearing, and a distinct foreign body sensation. TCA is one of the common eye injuries and ophthalmic emergencies, accounting for about 5%-10% in ophthalmic emergencies. Methods: The investigators conducted a clinical trial in adult patients with corneal trauma at the Zhongshan Ophthalmology Center of Sun Yat-sen University. Patients who signed informed consent to participate in the study were provided with corneal epithelial debridement. Patients were instructed to follow closely for the following year, and a pain log of the patient was collected at the last ophthalmology clinic visit.
