    Area of Science:

    • Ophthalmology
    • Toxicology
    • Corneal Disease

    Background:

    • Chemical eye injuries are common in domestic and industrial settings.
    • The nature of the toxic substance dictates the specific corneal and conjunctival changes.
    • Early severity assessment is crucial for determining prognosis and guiding treatment.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To review the management of chemical eye injuries.
    • To highlight novel therapeutic approaches for corneal protection.
    • To emphasize long-term care of the ocular environment.

    Main Methods:

    • Review of current literature on chemical eye injury management.
    • Discussion of topical treatments including sodium ascorbate, citrate, and enzyme inhibitors.
    • Exploration of strategies for managing epithelial defects and long-term ocular surface health.

    Main Results:

    • Topical sodium ascorbate and citrate offer potential for reduced corneal damage.
    • Enzyme inhibitors demonstrate efficacy in preventing and controlling corneal melting.
    • Therapeutic soft contact lenses and management of the ocular environment are key for persistent defects.

    Conclusions:

    • Effective management of chemical eye injuries involves prompt recognition, accurate assessment, and appropriate treatment.
    • Emerging therapies show promise in mitigating acute damage and preventing complications.
    • Long-term care focusing on the entire ocular environment is essential for optimal outcomes, particularly in patients undergoing keratoplasty.
