Painful lumps or swelling on the eyelid caused by blocked glands.
Corneal Abrasions
Scratches on the surface of the eye are often caused by foreign objects, contact lenses, or accidental trauma.
Foreign Bodies
Objects like dirt, sand, or debris that become lodged in the eye can lead to irritation and infection if not removed quickly.

Services we provide
Evaluation and Diagnosis
We will examine your eyes, assess your symptoms, inquire about the circumstances of the injury or onset of symptoms, and perform diagnostic tests as needed to confirm the diagnosis and guide treatment.
Treatment for Eye Injuries
Depending on the type and severity of the injury, we may irrigate the eye, apply protective eye patches or shields, or prescribe medications as necessary.
Management of Eye Infections
For eye infections, we will prescribe appropriate medications, such as antibiotic eye drops or ointments, antiviral medications, or anti-inflammatory agents to help alleviate symptoms and resolve infection.
Foreign Body Removal
If you have a foreign body in your eye, such as dust, debris, or a small particle, we will safely and gently remove the foreign body and prevent further damage.
Referral to Specialists
For more complex or severe injuries, infections, or conditions, we can refer you to ophthalmologists or eye specialists as necessary for further evaluation and management.
