1) Chemical injuries to the eye are common, ranging from mild irritation to complete destruction of ocular tissues. Alkali agents are more damaging than acids due to their ability to penetrate tissues. 2) Treatment depends on severity but generally involves immediate irrigation, antibiotics, steroids, and artificial tears. More severe injuries may require amniotic membrane transplantation or limbal stem cell transplant. 3) Even with treatment, complications can include dry eye, glaucoma, eyelid scarring, and vision loss. Patients require long-term follow up due to risk of these complications.
