How Do Eye Injuries Occur?

Like any other injury, eye damage can occur in a variety of scenarios, from accidents in public places to medical negligence and workplace health and safety failings. We’re experts in eye injury claims at work, having handled a number of cases for clients over the years.

Here are a few of the most common causes of eye injuries:

Trauma: This can result from accidents, sports injuries, or being hit by high-speed objects. In the workplace, trauma to the eye can be a result of Improperly maintained machinery that’s faulty or lacking a safety device, not being provided safety goggles or face coverings, or inadequate equipment training.

Chemical Burns: Exposure to certain chemicals, such as alkalis, acids, and other irritants, can cause serious burns inside the eyes, leading to damage or even blindness. Mismanagement of toxic chemicals can lead to them splashing or dripping into the eye.

Foreign Objects: These can include metal, glass, or other materials that can cause scratches, cuts, or embedded irritation in the eye.

Corneal Injuries: Injury or infection of the cornea, the transparent front window of the eye, can also lead to serious visual impairment.
