3. Chemical Burns
• Immediate intervention is warranted
• Can cause corneal scarring
• Could be acid or alkali
• Tx. Copious irrigation with clean water,
topical antibiotics, and corneal wound
healing agents
5. CRAO
• Central Retinal Artery Occlusion
• Sudden painless loss of vision
• Presents with pale background retina and a
(cherry-red spot) on the macula
• Blood supply: inner retina- by central
retinal artery, outer retina- by
choriocapillaries
6. CRAO
• Caused by an embolus (usually from the
carotid artery)
• Management: brown bagging, lowering IOP
with anti-glaucoma meds, paracentesis,
ocular massage, streptokinase
• referral to a cardiologist and a neurologist

13. RUPTURED OR LACERATED
GLOBE
• Best left untouched until ophthalmologist
arrives
• Topical anesthetics, antibiotics and eye
shield should be initialized
• Dx. X- ray, CT scan, B-scan ultrasound
• IOFB-intra ocular foreign body warrants a
referral to a vitreo-retinal surgeon
17. ORBITAL TRAUMA
• Results from a collision
• Coup and contra-coup injury
• May present with periorbital hematoma
• Should rule-out a blow-out fracture
• Dx. CT scan, X-ray
21. LID LACERATION
• Repaired by an ophthalmologist or an
oculoplastic surgeon
• Reapposition of anatomic detailed
anatomic structures are important for
normal functioning
• Avoid aggressive suturing
• Tx. Surgical repair, antibiotics, pain
relievers, anti-tetanus
