What are the signs and symptoms of an eye injury?

It's not always easy to identify an eye injury — especially in a child. Seek medical care immediately if you notice any of these signs or symptoms:

• Obvious pain, trouble opening the eye or trouble seeing
• A cut or torn eyelid
• One eye not moving as well as the other eye
• One eye sticking out farther or seeming more prominent than the other
• An unusual pupil size or shape
• Blood in the white part of the eye
• An object on the eye or under the eyelid that can't easily be removed
