Chemical eye injury
http://dbpedia.org/resource/Chemical_eye_injury an entity of type: Thing
Chemical eye injury are due to either an acidic or alkali substance getting in the eye. Alkalis are typically worse than acidic burns. Mild burns will produce conjunctivitis while more severe burns may cause the cornea to turn white. Litmus paper is an easy way to rule out the diagnosis by verifying that the pH is within the normal range of 7.0—7.2. Large volumes of irrigation is the treatment of choice and should continue until the pH is 6–8. Local anesthetic eye drops can be used to decrease the pain.
