What should I do if scissors touch the baby's corner of the eye?

Patient's question:

The baby is one month and one week old. Just now, the scissors accidentally touched the right eye corner, and there are two small red spots close to the eyeball, with a slightly red edge. What should I do?

Doctor's answer:

The child's eyes have been injured again. If you're not sure whether there's a problem, it's best to go to the hospital for a check-up as soon as possible. After all, the child is too young, and eye injuries can potentially interfere with the development of their vision. The longer you delay, the smaller the chance of a full recovery. If the cornea isn't damaged, it's not a big deal. Just use ofloxacin eye drops and apply a warm towel, and it will heal quickly.
