Abstract:
Eye injuries represent a significant public health concern, being one of the leading causes of
low vision and blindness worldwide. Annually, approximately 55 million individuals experience
eye injuries, and this condition leads to 19 million people losing their ability to work due to
vision impairment. Population-based studies in Asian countries reveal notable prevalence
rates, with 4.4% in Singapore and 3.6% in China.
Clinical Case:30 years old man, While he working on a building, He encountered a notable eye injury when
cement particles accidentally fell into his eye. Initially, coworkers offered assistance, using
available water sources to rinse his eye before he returned home.
Medical Intervention: Recognizing the need for professional care due to his persistent
symptoms and lack of improvement, Patient B sought treatment at an eye clinic. There,
the medical team implemented a comprehensive approach, incorporating both medical and
surgical interventions to address the complications arising from his eye injury.
This case highlights the importance of prompt and effective treatment for eye injuries,
particularly those resulting from chemical exposure. The progression of symptoms in
this instance emphasizes the need for greater awareness regarding appropriate initial
management and the critical role of professional evaluation when symptoms remain
unresolved. Additionally, it serves as a reminder of the potential seriousness associated
with injuries that may initially appear minor, especially in environments like construction
where chemical exposures are common. A focus on ongoing education and a collaborative
approach can prove invaluable in enhancing outcomes for patients facing similar challenges
in the future.
Novel techniques used in surgery:This surgical procedure continues to evolve, contributing to enhanced precision and efficiency
in medical procedures. One significant advancement is the single use holy drop system,
which prioritizes accuracy in ophthalmic surgeries.
This innovative technique involves the use of a tube that is meticulously measured from the
upper eyelid to the lower eyelid of the patient. The tube is subsequently cut into a circular
shape based on these measurements, ensuring a customized fit during the surgical procedure.
This approach guarantees that the surgical materials align seamlessly with the anatomical
features of the patient’s eye, thereby minimizing trauma and optimizing clinical outcomes.
The circular configuration of the tube is instrumental in maintaining consistent pressure and
stability, which contributes to improved healing and a reduction in postoperative complications.
Overall, the single use holy drop system represents a notable
