What is the outcome of corneal sutures in an eye injury?
Patient's Query
Hello doctor,
My nephew is 3-year-old and had injured his eye, and now doctor said suturing is required. So please tell me what is the outcome of corneal sutures, and is this a right treatment?
Hello,
Welcome to icliniq.com.
I am sorry to hear about the incident that happened with your nephew. The right treatment for this condition is to repair with suturing. However, it is to be seen what the size of the injury is, and if any other structures inside the eye have been damaged. If it is a small injury then like a small perforation, it might heal on its own, but a more significant injury has to be repaired.The visual outcome depends on the site of the injury. If the damage is in the center, then the visible result is guarded, but if the injury is in the periphery, you can expect a good visual outcome. I hope this will be of help to you.
