Non-ophthalmologists - Often it is treated by non-ophthalmologists. This involves corneal abrasions and also chemical splashes.  If the globe rupture is not very serious, then it requires immediate ophthalmological care. Most of the times, surgeons prefer to have intraocular lens implantation. Also, antibiotics can be taken to prevent any eye loss. Fox Shield - A fox shield is putted over the affected area for the treatment of this problem. Polystyrene foam cup can also be taken instead of the fox shield. Any kind of eye manipulation is avoided during the treatment, as it may raise the pressure of intraocular contents with potential extrusions.
