Traumatic eye injuries

Traumatic eye injuries occur from incidents such as from being poked in the eye or hit in the head. Depending on the type of trauma, symptoms can include blurred vision, bulging eye, burning, double vision, dry eyes, floaters, light sensitivity and pain or discomfort of the eye or around the eye. Swelling, a pupil that is dilated or unresponsive to light, vision loss, limited eye or lid movement or ptosis (drooping eyelids), also may occur.

If you or a family member has suffered a traumatic eye injury, see your Park Nicollet Eye Care professional immediately. The best course of action to treat your particular injury can be recommended at that time. Call 952-993-3150.
