Causes and Risk Factors of Eye Injuries

Eye injuries can result from a variety of causes, including accidents, environmental factors, or underlying health conditions. Some common causes and risk factors include:

• Trauma: Blunt force trauma from sports, accidents, or fights can result in bruising, swelling, or even retinal detachment.
• Foreign Objects: Dust, sand, metal shards, wood, or glass can easily become lodged in the eye and cause irritation, abrasions, or more serious damage.
• Chemical Exposure: Spills or splashes of harmful chemicals can cause serious burns or damage to the eye surface, requiring immediate medical attention.
• Contact Lenses: Improper use or poor hygiene of contact lenses can lead to infections, scratches, or abrasions on the cornea.
• Sports and Recreation: Activities like basketball, soccer, or cycling increase the risk of accidental eye injury from flying objects, impacts, or falls.
• Workplace Hazards: Certain occupations, such as construction, manufacturing, or laboratory work, expose individuals to a higher risk of eye injuries from sharp objects, chemicals, or debris.
• Underlying Health Conditions: Conditions like dry eye syndrome, which causes irritation and vulnerability, can increase the risk of injury.
