Will chemical injury to the eye need lifelong treatment?

Hello, Welcome to icliniq.com. What happens in chemical injury is that the acid or alkali penetrates deep into the eye's tissue, reaching to the lens and angle of the eye at times as well. Since your vision has resolved, there is least likely that a deep penetration has occurred. Nevertheless, there is a covering over the eye that is the tear film and numerous glands on the surface that produce the tear film layers. These often get disrupted during a chemical injury beyond repair.
