Dr. Rishi Sharma, Dr Bv Rao

Abstract :

Eyelid lacerations form a major bulk of the ocular trauma that is seen in accident and emergency department. In eyelid injuries we follow certain rules of reconstruction, but each case is unique and requires some inventiveness. A 47 years old male sustained injury to face and eyes when he his car collided with another car and he hit against the dashboard. Post injury, he sustained multiple aasions and lacerations on the face forehead, right eyelid and right cheek. Patient was administered injectable antibiotics, painkiller, and tetanus toxoid injection. Thorough ocular and systemic examination was done. The laceration over the right side of forehead and eyeow was repaired followed by suturing of upper eyelid in layers. Suture removal was done after 10 days. Patient was kept on oral antibiotic and eye drops. Proper reconstruction and strict postoperative care ensured a good recovery with acceptable aesthetic appearance.
