What should be done if the eye membrane is torn due to eye trauma?

Patient's question:

Hello doctor, I am 43 years old, male. I have been feeling that my eyes are not doing well recently, because I had another accident in the past few days, which caused an injury to my eyes. What should I do about the ruptured conjunctiva due to the eye injury?

Doctor's answer:

The rupture of the corneal membrane needs to be assessed based on the extent of the injury. If it is a mild injury, it can be treated with medication to promote corneal scarring, such as antibiotic eye drops and other local medications. If it is a penetrating injury, a corneal debridement surgery may be required at the ophthalmology department for treatment. It is recommended that you visit the ophthalmology department for a follow-up examination and a thorough check-up. Regulate your physical and mental health, maintain personal hygiene, and avoid bacterial invasion due to weakened immunity.
