Serious eye injuries, risk of blindness due to homemade fireworks
Although it's not yet Tet, many teenagers have made their own firecrackers, leading to serious accidents, requiring emergency hospitalization and facing the risk of losing their eyesight.
Information from the Central Eye Hospital said that the hospital has just received two male patients with severe eye injuries caused by homemade fireworks.
The first case was patient CVP (16 years old, residing in Lang Son), who was transferred in a state of left eye trauma with a ruptured eyeball, prolapse and loss of intraocular tissue, leading to complete loss of vision.
According to information from the patient's family, the patient was making his own firecrackers (a type of mortar made of paper) when the firecrackers suddenly exploded, causing an accident. Doctors said that the firecracker accident ruptured the patient's eyeball. Although the patient received emergency surgery that night, his health is now stable, but the risk of permanent vision loss is still very high.
That same night, the Central Eye Hospital admitted another patient, NBM (22 years old, Nghe An), with a large penetrating wound in his left eye, a complex tear in the sclera, and protrusion of intraocular tissue. The patient said that while making fireworks by putting explosives in a plastic tube, the fireworks suddenly exploded, causing the plastic tube to burst, and broken plastic pieces flew into his eyes and face, causing serious injuries.
Previously, Viet Duc Friendship Hospital has repeatedly warned about the situation of young people being injured due to making and using homemade fireworks. In some cases, patients had their hands crushed and doctors were unable to save their fingers.
Doctors warn people not to make or use illegal fireworks, especially homemade fireworks. This is not only a violation of the law but also poses a risk of causing serious injury, even threatening life.
To protect the safety of themselves and the community, people need to raise awareness, absolutely not buy, sell or use illegal fireworks and guide their children to stay away from these dangerous actions.
