How Can A Small Splinter In Eye Be Removed?
Brief Answer:
This requires treatment at E.R.
Detailed Answer:
Hello
Welcome to health care magic.
I reviewed your history.
Since it is more than 24 hours since the foreign body/ splinter is present on the eye and there symptoms like redness, irritation, blurred vision.... indicating infection, the foreign body needs to be removed at the earliest.
As delay in starting the treatment can cause complications like corneal ulcer, I advise to go to E. R. for examination and treatment.
I treat these kind of conditions by removal of foreign body and use of broad spectrum antibiotic eye drops like moxifloxacin and oral antiinflammatory drugs.
Hope the information is helpful to you.
Thank you
With regards
