October is Eye Injury Prevention Month.

According to the American Academy of Ophthalmology, up to 90% of eye injuries could be prevented with protective eyewear. When an injury does happen, what the first provider does — and doesn't do — matters.

Open globe injuries are true ophthalmic emergencies. In this carousel we cover how to recognize one, the red flags on exam, the well-meaning steps that can make it worse, and how to protect the eye until ophthalmology takes over.

Key takeaways:
• Suspect it with any high-velocity or sharp mechanism
• Shield, don't patch — nothing touches the globe
• Stop the squeeze: antiemetics, analgesia, head of bed up
• CT, antibiotics and tetanus, then ophthalmology, fast

Share this with an NP or PA colleague who works in trauma, the ED or urgent care.

For education only. Follow your institution's protocols and specialist guidance.
