My 4 months old scrached her eyeball yesterday with her nails now the eye is red, what do i do to help it heal?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Have her seen: If the scratch included parts of the cornea (clear front part) it can scar & interfere with later vision. The best outcome can be assured if this is evaluated by your doc & proper treatment prescribed when needed.
