  • Title: Injury to the cornea.
    Author: Onofrey BE.
    Journal: Optom Clin; 1993; 3(2):1-19. PubMed ID: 8268689.
    Abstract:
    Ocular trauma represents one of the most frequent and challenging clinical presentations confronting the primary eye care provider. The degree of damage to the ocular tissues can range from mild to severe. It is imperative that the managing practitioner be able to rapidly assess the level of injury and take appropriate steps to minimize ocular morbidity, thereby maximizing the return of normal visual function. Corneal injuries can be divided into three major categories: mechanical, chemical, and radiant energy. This discussion will deal with the general management of mechanical types of injuries.
