Foreign body removal is a medical procedure used to safely extract objects that have entered the eye, such as dust, metal, or wood particles. Prompt removal is essential to prevent irritation, infection, or damage to delicate eye structures. This procedure ensures the affected eye is carefully examined, cleaned, and treated to restore comfort and prevent further complications.
At Desai Eye Institute, foreign body removal is performed using specialized tools under sterile conditions. A topical anaesthetic is applied to numb the eye, ensuring the patient’s comfort throughout the process. Depending on the location and type of object, different techniques are used to extract it without causing additional harm. After removal, antibiotic drops or ointments may be prescribed to promote healing and prevent infection.
This safe and effective procedure is vital for anyone experiencing discomfort or injury from foreign objects in the eye. The expert care at Desai Eye Institute ensures comprehensive treatment to protect and maintain patients’ vision.
