Ocular Trauma treatment in La Paz

Ocular trauma is any injury that affects the eye or the structures around it, caused by blows, foreign objects, chemical substances, or sudden pressure changes.

Why it matters to treat it: The eye is a delicate organ, and an injury can compromise vision if it is not evaluated in time; that is why, after an eye accident, it is best to seek care without delay.

Possible manifestations: Pain, redness, tearing, blurred vision, or a foreign-body sensation may accompany the injury.

Which specialist treats it? The ophthalmologist assesses the extent of the damage and, in emergencies, the emergency physician provides initial care. In the case of an eye injury, receiving a professional evaluation as soon as possible is the safest option.
