Symptoms of EYE LID LACERATION


Bleeding and swelling of the eyelid occurs. The underlying eyeball or cornea may be injured, leading to blurred or absent vision. Swelling of the conjunctiva may produce chemosis, where the clear part of the eye is swollen. Injuries to the lacrimal gland may decrease the production tears, producing dry eyes and irritation or corneal ulcers. Damage to the lacrimal duct prevents the tears from draining into the nasal cavity. Tears then well up in the eye and drain onto the face.
