Patient's question:
Starting from primary school, my eyes began to develop myopia, and I have always worn glasses. A few days ago, I had an accidental fall where a branch scraped my eye. It was just a slight injury to the eyelid. After that, I had my vision tested again and found that it had significantly worsened. Is the vision decline due to the eye injury?Doctor's answer:
Eyes are one of the most fragile and sensitive organs in the human body, and they require care as much as one cares for their own life. Your eyes already have myopia, and the eyes of people with myopia are inherently more fragile. Although your eyes may appear to have suffered external injuries, it's not guaranteed that the internal structures haven't been affected. It's recommended that you have regular eye exams and pay more attention to protecting your eyes to prevent overuse. Get adequate rest, maintain physical and mental well-being, and keep personal hygiene to avoid bacterial infections due to weakened immunity.
