Eye Trauma

Any injury to the eye itself can threaten sight and should be evaluated and treated immediately to preserve vision.

Treatment of eye injuries can range from medication, to topical drops, to need for procedures or surgery to attempt to save eyesight. UMMC ophthalmologists treat more Eye Trauma cases than anywhere else in the state of Mississippi. Urgent medical and ophthalmologic care is needed to assess the health and integrity of the eye as well as the bones and tissues around the eyes to determine proper and prompt treatment.
