Hyderabad: Eye specialists in Hyderabad have urged people, especially children, to take precautions while they burn firecrackers during Diwali celebrations.

Senior ophthalmologist from LV Prasad Eye Institute (LVPEI), Dr Anubha Rathi said the festival of lights should be celebrated with utmost safety and elder members of the family should supervise children, while they take part in the Diwali celebrations.

In case of an incident, doctors advised basic treatment first before taking the victims to hospitals. “In mild cases, wash the eye thoroughly by splashing clean drinking water. One can use a shallow cup of water close to the eye and blink repeatedly. Consult eye doctor to remove the foreign body and prescribe appropriate medications,” advised senior ophthalmologist from Maxivision eye hospitals, Dr Satya Prasad Balki.
