Patient's question:
Recently, our organization held a basketball competition in our unit. Today, while playing basketball, my eye was accidentally hit by a basketball. Although I didn't get injured, I'm still very concerned about the possibility of eye trauma during future ranking matches. So, I would like to consult about the treatment methods for eye trauma.Doctor's answer:
After being hit by a basketball, if there is no obvious swelling locally and no vision (blurred vision) or other symptoms, there is no need to worry too much. If there is some swelling, you can apply cold compresses for a short period of time. After 24 hours, you can do a local cold compress. In the short term, reduce physical activity, get more rest, avoid stimulating foods, and eat more vegetables and fruits. Pay attention to personal living habits and maintain a healthy diet.
