Is there a way to repair damage to the eye caused by a chemical burn?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes: But it depends on how much damage, what type of chemical, and other factors. A mild burn that causes no sight-threatening damage can be left alone. Severe burns with significant damage can sometimes require very extensive surgical reconstruction.
