Abstract
Preview Wide use of chemicals in the home and workplace makes toxic exposure—and thus the potential for injury—unavoidable. Eye injuries from chemicals require prompt, efficient treatment and continued care for long-term problems. In this article, Drs Nelson and Kopietz describe the types of agents that can cause ocular burns, the steps in proper treatment, and the special concerns and problems that can arise.Keywords
