Eye Injuries
Some of the common eye injuries in sport include:
Hyphaema - in which there is bleeding in the chamber in front of the eye. Although strict rest is needed after these injuries, they normal result in a full recovery.
Corneal abrasion - the most common eye injury, in which the outer lining of the eye (cornea) is scratched. Treated with eye pad and antibiotic drops, and not too serious if they don't affect the area directly in front of the pupil.
Detached retina - the most serious of the regularly seen eye injuries in sport, and can result in permanent blindness.
