Question : Got raw rancid pork juice in my eye work up with blurry vision I'm nervous it has gone away

Answered by Dr. Dr. Rakhi Tayal (1 hour later)

Brief Answer: Wash the eye with water. Detailed Answer: Hello, Thanks for trusting us with your health concern. The raw rancid pork juice can cause an allergic reaction or inflammation of the eye causing a blurred vision. Washing the eye with cold water will help in washing away the irritant and restoring the vision. If the symptoms have subsided then there is no need to worry. It is not likely to cause any long term problem. Gauze pads soaked in milk can help reduce the redness and swelling in your eyes. Over-the-counter antihistamines and/or antibiotic eye drops can help too. Physical check up is necessary if there is redness or itching of the eye. In that case you need to consult your ophthalmologist to get antibiotic and anti allergic eye drops prescribed. Please feel free to discuss further. I will be glad to answer the follow up queries that you have. Wishing you good health. Regards. Dr. Rakhi Tayal.
