A child who was told by a General Practitioner to only need some rest but upon review by an Optometrist from Precision Optics, was referred to an Ophthalmologist for further examined and was diagnosed with a Orbital Floor Fracture.
This is according to a Apr 23 Facebook post shared by Precision Optics at United Square, Singapore
Elbowed by his friend
According to the child, he was accidentally elbowed by his friend on the eye area while playing. Immediately after that happened, his mum brought him to see a GP and he was told to rest.
Seeing double the next day
The next day, the patient complained that he was seeing double vision with the injured eye and was brought in to see the Optometrist.
Preliminary examination shows no observable injury on and within the eyeball except for slight bruising on the lower eyelid. But the Optometrist detected some issue with the coordination of both eyes (Vertical double image) which needed immediate medical attention.
The patient was referred immediately to an eye specialist who determined that he has suffered an Orbital Floor Fracture and surgery was scheduled that very day.
The author then reminded everyone of the importance of eye protection during contact sports and the difference between blur/double vision in one eye.
