Question 1

how long will it take for a hyphema (squash ball) eye injury take to heal?

Accepted Answer

Depends on severity: A microhyphema without blood layering may resolve in a few days.  An "eight-ball" hyphema or completely filled anterior chamber may take weeks to heal and may even require surgical evacuation.  Rebleeding and secondary glaucoma are common and prolong resolution of hemorrhage.

Accepted Answer

: From your description, sounds like injury involved anterior eye, and if accurate, there would be NO damage to optic nerve or retina.  Ask your ophthalmologist if there is any sign of permanency at this point.

Question 4

is it alright to use marijuana to help heal an eye injury?

no: Marijuana could allow you to ignore the injury for a while, but any eye injury needs urgent evaluation by an ophthalmologist (not an optometrist) to treat sight threatening damage.  Marijuana has no healing capability.

Accepted Answer

See your eye doctor: I would recommend that you return to your eye doctor for another complete eye exam. Alternatively, you can get another opinion to be sure the therapy you are receiving is the best option. This does require follow up with a specialist. It is also not clear from your question as to what type of eye drops you are referring to.

Question 8

Accepted Answer

Hyphema: Blurred vision could be from the remaking blood or blood staining of the cornea or the injury itself.  You must see your ophthalmologist to follow up with the treatment    control of intra ocular pressure is very important. Sometimes there is a recurrence of bleed a few days later.  Your ophthalmologist will also check for any internal damage and for any vitreous hemorrhage.

Question 10

how can i prevent eye injuries in my workshop?

Accepted Answer

Eye protection!: Wear safety glasses, goggles, or face shields when you hammer nails or metal, work with power tools or chemicals, or do any activity that might cause a burn to your eyes. If you work with hazardous chemicals that could splash into your eyes, know how to flush chemicals out, and know the location of the nearest shower or sink.
