Chemical exposure: Accidental contact with household cleaners, garden chemicals, or industrial fluids.
Physical trauma: Blows, scratches, cuts, or punctures to the eye or surrounding facial structure.
Foreign objects: Dust particles, metal shavings, or glass embedded in or resting on the eye surface.
Retinal changes: Tears or detachments inside the eye that disrupt how your retina processes light.
Sudden vision loss: A dramatic drop in clarity or sudden loss of sight in one or both eyes.
