How To Treat Accidentally Splashed Animals Blood Into Eye?
I have a patient who is a meat cutter/butcher. He got pig blood splashed in his eye. His eye had corneal staining, conjuctival staining with sodium flourescein, tried tobridex, Q2H, changed over to vigamox, plus pred forte, Corneal staining minimal after one week of treatment, conjunctiva three injection and not getting any better. Told to use aleve 650 MGs BID. Any suggestions as to what it could be and how to resolve the problem?

in this case what is most important is flushing of face and eye. staining is indicated in case of corneal ulcer or abrasion. slit lamp examination to look for any injury or ulcer. if it is taking staining then it is ulcer or abrasion. first antibiotic is required. steroid is contraindicated. only follow up is required to look for corneal invovment and recovery.
