I Escaped Blindness From Acid Spill!

in accident •  7 years ago 

Hello my good friends and readers!

These few days I did not type on mostly nothing ...because I was recovering from a work accident.

I was working normally (like I do) and suddenly a drop of acid, ( metal bright or phosphoric acid) fallen into my left eye.

The pain was sharp and crippling , so I din not waste any of my time and went to put eyewash in my left eye.

Eyewash is a substance use in emergency's meant to clean the surface and depth of the eye

I applied for about 15 minutes and then I went to the Hospital were they put me on the bead and inserted a long tube in my left eye and pour again eyewash for about 15 more minutes, for that I received anesthetic because the pain was to big.

After that the ship doctor checked my ph form the eye and said that there are no more traces of acid in my eye and he also said that because I acted fast I will not go blind.

But I was scared!

After the intervention my vision was blurry....

I received some ointment to apply for 7 days in my left eye for 2 times a day.

Days passed and I now can see much better...how much better...I don't know...But I can see again.

Note: At the time of the incident I was wearing all protection required but the drop felled between the frames of my eyeglasses.

I am Cynetyc and I thank you for your time!

Thank you @shavishtha and I can say now that I fully recovered and feel much better!

Ouch, seems you still have good 'ol instinctive reflexes in time of need! Luckily so ^.^

Yes @droucil I never take my chances and I try always to fix a problem .
Many of the sailors had experiences like this and some of them lost their eyesight on one eye or both or got acid in a wound and damaged the skin. Most of this results were because they did not act in time .

very sad my friend,best of luck of you
thanks for good share
take care

Thank you @quinnpeterson, I feel much better now and I resumed my daily work...and soon I will be home to enjoy the winter holidays!
