When my friends came to see me, they saw a red streak in my eye like blood. Everyone was worried. Everyone immediately called my family to take me to the emergency room...", N. shared.

Doctor Khanh Linh said that recently, the hospital where she works has received many cases of eye injuries while participating in sports , especially in children, because it is summer and extracurricular activities are bustling.

Doctors warn that parents should pay special attention and instruct their children to use appropriate protective equipment when playing sports, especially sports with high risk of collision such as soccer, basketball, badminton, tennis... especially the eye area, because this is a very vulnerable area.

When injured and showing unusual signs, you should immediately go to a specialist facility for examination and timely treatment to avoid unfortunate risks to your eyesight.
