Question 1

what kind of damage can happen if sprayed in the eye with a can of air?

Accepted Answer

Depends: Depends on the distance from the eye, the pressure in the can and any contaminants in the can.  If very powerful, fully loaded and close up, one might do siginficant damage.   A single casual blast of canned air perhaps might do no harm and be of no consequence.  I would caution to avoid this activity or risk.

Question 2

swollen eye after a cologne spray got in the eye 
what can i do?

Accepted Answer

Rinse repeatedly: and well with saline (clean water if that is not available).

Question 3

my 2 years old daughter sprayed perfume into her eye. i cleaned the eye with water. still some redness. can see and open eye. what should i do?  thank

Accepted Answer

Get an Exam: Your daughter's eye should be examined by an ophthalmologist to determine if any chemical damage has taken place on the surface of the eye.  Rinsing the eye out with water was the best initial treatment.  Chemical burns, epithelial corneal or conjunctival damage may require treatment.

Question 4

can my enlarged adenoids worsen my dry eyes ? everytime i put some kind of nasal spray my vision goes clear not blurry that it usually is cause of dry

Accepted Answer

No: But I don't understand why a nasal spray would clear up your vision unless you have been squeezing your eyelids shut (which produces tear)  while spraying.

Question 5

nasal allergy - sneezing, watery eyes and allergic to dust, season change and unnatural air viz a/c, fans etc. take allegra tablets (120-180 mg), spray?

Accepted Answer

Mixed rhinitis: Sounds like perennial mixed rhinitis with both allergic and non-allergic triggers. Evidenced based medicine says topical nasal steroid spray is primary treatment, topical or oral antihistamines next and possibly montelukast (singular). Allergen immunotherapy can also be very helpful. See your pcp or board certified allergist.

Question 6

when watching a welder, what kind of damage can occur in the eye?

Accepted Answer

Several: The principal effect of welding on the eye is a sunburn type reaction of the corneal surface due to the ultraviolet light.  This is why welders wear a mask with a dense filter.  Particles can fly off the welded area and cause damage so it is best not to stand too close without protection.  With proper protection as welders know, the eyes can be protected.

Question 7

what kind of foods promote good eye health?

Accepted Answer

Many: There are several food ingredients that reduce the risk of eye disease.  This includes lutein and zeaxanthin which is found in dark green leafy vegetables, like kale and spinach; fish oil; flax-seed oil, anti-oxidant vitamins (vit a, c, e and zinc).

Question 8

what kind of pain should i be worried about, if i got hit in the eye? i got hit in the eye with a volleyball, and when i go outside, it hurts.

Accepted Answer

Traumatic Iritis: You may have traumatic inflammation of the iris/and ciliary body inside your eye (the colored part).
You should get a dilated eye exam. Dull constant or sharp stabbing eye pain, eye redness, light sensitivity, and blurred vision are signs of this condition

Question 9

if a person throws a knife and it stabs someone in the eye (open globe) + how would that effect the eye? would they have to get prosetheic eye? and what kind of scaring would that cause ?

Accepted Answer

: there is a high probability of significant visual loss and even loss of eye.  In that case a prosthesis is the preferred course of action.

Question 10

my friend sprayed ultra aerosol air duster on my head. can anything bad happen from that? discoloration of hair or anything serious? thanks.

Accepted Answer

Read the label: There are many similar products out there like that.  Read the label for the particular one she used, and it should list hazards.  Also, we are finding that most aerosols are not healthy at all! for any of us.   Candle smoke is a problem as are those fragrances.  See this report by the World Health Organization: http://www.who.int/ceh/capacity/Indoor_Air_Pollution.pdf    Long but not hard to read
