Have You Sustained An Eye Injury In Rhode Island?
It is estimated that 2.4 million eye injuries occur in the United States every single year. While many of these eye injuries are caused by a truly unavoidable accident, many are due to the negligence of another person. Car crashes and slips and falls are some of the most common causes of eye injuries - and causes that could be prevented. If you or a loved one has suffered an eye injury or loss of vision, chances are you are seeing medical bills pile up and may even be dealing with a loss of income. An experienced Providence Eye Injury Lawyer can help you get the compensation you deserve.
Common Types of Eye Injuries
Your eyes are very fragile. They are protected by your skull and your eyelids, but there is still a very real possibility of eye injury in just about any accident. There are several possible types of eye injuries, some much more serious than others. Here are some of the most common eye injuries.
- Foreign body in the eye - This could be anything from a grain of sand to a piece of glass. The seriousness of this injury depends on what the object is, and whether it has penetrated the eye, or if it floating in the eye socket.
- Traumatic iritis - The iris is the colored part of the eye that contains the muscle that controls the opening and closing of the pupil. If the iris is inflamed (usually due to blunt force trauma) it is called traumatic iritis.
- Corneal abrasions - The cornea is the clear layer that covers the eye. A corneal abrasion occurs when the cornea is scratched. Generally a minor injury, these abrasions usually heal on their own.
- Subconjunctival hemorrhage - This is when blood pools in the white part of the eye. Often caused by a blow to the eye, it can also sometimes happen spontaneously. The hemorrhage itself is not usually a severe injury, but it can accompany more serious issues.
- Chemical burns - Chemical burns occur when a chemical (usually in the form of a liquid) is splashed into the eye. This can be as mild as sunscreen or hairspray, or it can be a very serious injury if a much stronger chemical or acid gets into the eye.
- Orbital fractures - This is when the bones surrounding the eye break. These bones protect the eye and if they are broken it often means the eye itself has also sustained a very serious injury.
- Lacerations - Depending on where the laceration occurs, these can be very serious eye injuries. In particular, a laceration to the cornea or the sclera may require surgery to fix.
