Question 1

can you get a cut on your eye?

Accepted Answer

Of course: The eye is well protected and many get facial cuts without the eye being involved.  But sometimes sharp things can actually impact the eye and scratch the surface, cut partially into the outer coats or in the worse case, penetrate to the interior which causes major problems.  If you suspect any of these an ophthalmologist should be consulted pronto.

Question 2

how can you treat small cut at the corner of ones eye?

Accepted Answer

Seek professional he: If you really have a cut on your eye then you should see a physician.  If you have a small cut or abrasion on the skin around the eye then those will usually heal up well on their own.  If you have vision changes or increasing redness see a doctor.

Question 3

Accepted Answer

Question 4

Question 5

how to care for a cut on the whites of the eye?

Accepted Answer

See Eye Doctor: This depends on how deep it is. I superficial laceration (cut) to the conjunctiva (the translucent membrane covering the white part of the eye) may only need antibiotic drops to prevent infection while it heals. However a deeper cut may be more serious and may require surgery. See your ophthalmologist (eye md) right away!

Question 6

what to do if my two year old fell and has a cut above his eye.?

Accepted Answer

Local wound care: Applying a compress to control bleeding, washing with soapy water and applying antibiotic ointment twice daily while keeping the site covered should be all you need to do until healed.  If the wound is gaping or continues to bleed, it may require stitches.  Vomiting, excessive sleepiness, or lethargy requires an ER visit.  See your doctor if redness, swelling or drainage starts.

Question 7

i got cut on my  left eye with a pen cap its paining what should i do?

Accepted Answer

Depends: If the cut is to the skin surrounding the eye, such as your eyelid, I would suggest keeping the area clean by washing with soap and water. Topical antiseptic cream may be used if cut is not too close to eye itself. If you have scratched the eye itself, refrain from contact wear (if you wear them) and have the eye examined if no better in 24hrs to assess for possible corneal abrasion.

Question 8

i have a cut near the eye and i would like to put something on it. what would be safe to use?

Accepted Answer

Water: Vaseline or Aquaphor. Not iodine, alcohol, or peroxide. Avoid bacitracin, neosporin, triple antibiotic. Leave open. If it is deep, see a Dr.

Question 9

very unusual eye symptom, feeling like a tiny cut in the corner; but i don't see anything there?

Accepted Answer

Corner?: Need more detail, but if you are referring to the eye lids in the corner, it could be angular blepharitis.  Try cleaning area with warm water and drying twice a day, then apply very thin coat of vasaline.  If you are referring to the eye, it could be recurrent erosion, foreign body under lid, or just plain dry eyes.

Accepted Answer

Go to the Doctor: I am sure you already know this but it is time to see the eye doctor urgently.
