CHEMICAL INJURIES
• One of the true ophthalmic emergency
• Can cause mild to complete destruction
of the eye.
Affending agents
• Detergents
• Desinfectans
• Solvent
• Cosmetics
• Bleach
• Fertilizer
• Pesticide,
• caustic chemical.
Affending Agents with Alkali Compound
Affending Agents with Acid Compound
Hydrochloric Acid
Chemical Injury
ACID BURNS
• Acid dissociate into hydrogen ions and
anions in the cornea e.g. HCL H+and Cl-
• The hydrogen molecules damages the
ocular surface by altering the Ph.
• Anion causes protein denaturation,
precipitation and coagulation. Less
severe tissue damage than alkali
• Proteins coagulation prevents deeper
penetration of the acid.
ALKALI BURNS
• Alkaline substance dissociate into a hydroxyl
ion and a cation in the ocular surface, e.g.
NaOH=Na+ + OH-
• The hydroxyl ion saponifies cell membran
fatty acid
• The cation interacts with stromal collagen
and glycosaminoglycans.
• This interaction makes deeper penetration
into and through the cornea and into the
anterior chamber.
The Classification of Ocular Burns
Grade I
• Corneal epithelial
defect only
• Limbal ischemia (-)
• Cornea remains
clear
Grade II
• Corneal epithelial
defect
• Stromal haze, but
iris detail still
visible
• Ichemia < 1/3 of
the limbus
Grade III
• Total corneal epithelial
defect
• Stromal haze obscuring
iris details
• Ischemia 1/3 – ½ of the
limbus
Grade IV

Abstract
This study tested the hypothesis that four ocular irrigating solutions were
equally irritating during copious irrigation. We conducted a prospective,
double-blind study of patients with chemical exposure to the eye. Each
underwent cross-over irrigation with all of the following in random order:
normal saline (NS), lactated Ringer's (LR), normal saline adjusted to pH 7.4
with sodium bicarbonate (NS + Bicarb), and Balanced Saline Solution Plus (BSS
Plus, Alcon Laboratories, Fort Worth, TX). Compared with traditional NS and
LR, NS + Bicarb tended to be more comfortable. BSS Plus was statistically
superior (P less than .05) to NS and preferred over LR and NS + Bicarb. Three
patients demanded discontinuance of NS or NS + Bicarb infusions. All
solutions had comparable normalization of conjunctival pH and degree of
injection. Alternate solutions including BSS Plus should be considered for use
in those patients whose poor tolerance to normal saline threatens to delay or
interrupt eye irrigation following a chemical injury.
