Expert: Dr Anand Shroff, MD, FICS - 11/9/2009
Question
my daughter got poked in the eye at daycare- although i did not see this or was told about it i saw a part of the eye pink, just below the pupil. She does not appear to be in pain or any complaints or crying but as this is the eye i am worried. Should i hear to the opthal or just treat this as another incident and let it slide?
Answer
Dear Ramya,
Usually with a definite history of a poke or injury it is advisable to see an ophthalmologist.
However, a pink eye could also be allergy or sometimes due to hard rubbing of the eyes.
You could be vigilant and wait and watch or if it is at the 'back of your head and you cannot seem to get it out of your mind" then...best to make an appointment.
Hope this helps,
Best,
Dr Anand Shroff
