Types of Eye Injuries Affecting the Cornea

Corneal injuries can occur in different ways depending on the type of trauma or damage to the surface of the eye:

✓ Corneal Foreign Body – Occurs when dust, metal, wood, glass, or other particles become lodged on the corneal surface, causing pain, redness, tearing, and irritation.

✓ Corneal Abrasion – A scratch or superficial injury to the cornea caused by fingernails, contact lenses, foreign objects, or accidental trauma, resulting in discomfort, light sensitivity, and blurred vision.

✓ Eye Trauma Involving the Cornea – Includes blunt or penetrating injuries that damage the cornea and surrounding eye structures, requiring prompt evaluation and treatment to prevent permanent vision loss.
