Welcome to our Ocular Trauma Services at PureSight Ophthalmology. We understand that ocular trauma can be a distressing experience, and our dedicated team is here to provide immediate and comprehensive care for your eye injury.
Comprehensive Evaluation and Urgent Care:
When it comes to ocular trauma, timely evaluation and treatment are of utmost importance. Our experienced ophthalmologists are skilled in the assessment of eye injuries and will provide urgent care to address your immediate needs. We will conduct a thorough examination of your eyes, assessing the extent of the trauma and identifying any associated complications.
Diagnostic Imaging and Specialized Testing:
In cases of ocular trauma, we may utilize advanced imaging techniques, such as optical coherence tomography (OCT), ultrasonography, or computed tomography (CT), to obtain detailed images of your eye’s structures. Additionally, specialized tests, including visual acuity assessment, tonometry to measure intraocular pressure, and evaluation of eye movements, may be performed to gather crucial information about your eye health.
Treatment Options for Ocular Trauma:
Dr K K Chetty is trained to provide a wide range of treatments for ocular trauma, tailored to the specific nature and severity of your injury. Treatment options may include:
- Medications: Prescription medications, such as antibiotics, anti-inflammatory drugs, or eye drops, may be prescribed to prevent infection, reduce inflammation, and manage pain.
- Foreign Body Removal: If a foreign object has entered the eye, our team will safely remove it to prevent further damage.
- Repair of Eyelid and Orbital Injuries: We specialize in repairing eyelid lacerations and addressing orbital fractures or soft tissue injuries that may have occurred due to trauma.
- Corneal Repair: In cases where the cornea has been damaged, we can provide surgical interventions to repair the corneal tissue and restore its integrity.
- Retinal Surgery: Severe ocular trauma may involve damage to the retina, requiring surgical interventions such as retinal detachment repair or vitrectomy.
Ongoing Monitoring and Rehabilitation:
Following treatment for ocular trauma, our team will provide comprehensive monitoring and follow-up care to ensure proper healing and assess any long-term effects. We will guide you through the recovery process, monitor your vision, and address any concerns or complications that may arise. If necessary, we may recommend vision therapy or rehabilitation services to maximize your visual recovery.
