Eye injuries should be checked by a doctor, if the child won’t open their eye or keeps it covered, if the eye waters non-stop or the child is blinking more than normal, a sharp object hit the eye, pupils are not equal in size if your child is less than a year or they have a cut on the eyelid or eyeball. For these cases, it is best to take your child to the nearest urgent care clinic if you aren’t able to get in to see your family doctor right away. If there is bruising near the eye, or the cut is dirty and it’s been more than 5 years since their last tetanus shot you should reach out to your family doctor during office hours within 24 hours of the injury to determine what treatment actions you should take. As their parent, you can also judge when you feel that your child needs to be seen and how urgent the situation appears to be.
