Patient's eye crushed in work accident, saved from risk of losing vision

SKĐS - Mr. VT, 32 years old, was hospitalized with a torn left eye corner, a severed tear duct, and a crushed eyelid after a work accident. Doctors from the Ophthalmology Department, Thai Nguyen Central Hospital performed surgery to reconnect the tear duct and reconstruct the eyelid, helping to preserve vision and the shape of the eye area.

The patient was admitted to the hospital with a tear in the left inner corner of the eye, a ruptured superior lacrimal duct, a complex tear in the eyelid skin, and a crushed eyelid tissue, including the tarsal cartilage, a severe injury that could seriously affect visual function and eye aesthetics.

Immediately after admission, the doctors urgently performed surgery to reconnect the lacrimal canal, restore the eye angle and regenerate the eyelid tissue. After 2 days of surgery, the patient's vision, eyelid lifting function and aesthetic shape of the eye area were preserved.

MSc. Dr. Le Thi Yen, the surgeon who directly performed the surgery, said: Eye injuries at work are very dangerous and can cause serious damage such as corneal scratches, intraocular bleeding, retinal detachment, optic nerve damage, and even permanent vision loss or blindness. The doctor recommends that workers strictly follow safety procedures and use protective eyewear to minimize the risk of accidents.
