In particular, parents need to educate their children not to play with dangerous sharp objects, and limit their children's access to areas where activities with the risk of accidents take place to avoid unfortunate events that seriously affect their eyes. If an accident occurs, do not treat the wound at home but take the child immediately to a medical facility.
