With Deepavali being celebrated, ophthalmologists urge the public to celebrate responsibly and protect their eyes from preventable firecracker injuries.
Health
While the use of crackers has reduced over the years due to government restrictions and environmental consciousness, doctors still see a worrying number of cases during the festive season.
Health
Firecrackers can cause thermal (heat), mechanical and chemical injuries, many of which are entirely preventable with basic precautions.
Health
Experts advise against washing or rubbing the eyes after an injury. “Even clean water should not be used to rinse the eye,” they caution.
Health
“Simply cover it gently with a clean handkerchief and reach the nearest eye hospital immediately.”
