My father's eye
He is a farmer, was doing colour on wall (kalai say in local, Chuna type), sudden lot of mixture went in his one eye. Now situation is not normal, we bring him to a doctor who gave 5days medicine and eye drops but eye is almost close and nothing visible from that eye except some Shadow (3days passed).
I am worrying to whom I should consult now.
Whether any surgery/operation will required and if it will work or not!
Please guide.
Thanks in advance.

It is an ophthalmic urgency , Chuna can cause chemical burns , and depending on the nature and depth of penetration, we give the treatment. It looks like it will require a corrective procedure in near future.
Next Steps
Not to waste any time and visit your ophthalmologist as soon as possible
