Q. I have an eye pain after I got hit by a toy bullet. Do I need to visit a doctor?
Hello doctor,
I have severe pain in and around the eye after I got hit by a toy gun bullet unexpectedly. There is a slight redness in the cornea and a pricking sensation below the eye ball.
Hello,
Welcome to icliniq.com.
- As it is a blunt trauma, you have to be treated immediately. Pain is a significant symptom which needs to be evaluated soon because it could be due to superficial tears or abrasions.
- You will need a slit lamp examination. Later, you will also need a retina screening to be done.
- I suggest you consult an ophthalmologist so that he/she can examine your eye under magnification.
- Until then you can take these medicines:
- Eye drops Moxifloxacin three to four times a day.
- Eye drops Systane Ultra (lubricant eye drops) twice a day
- Tablet Paracetamol once a day.
