Doctor told about the most frequent eye injuries during the New Year’s celebrations in Tatarstan
People carelessly open champagne, violate safety regulations in the use of fireworks and get snowballs in the eyes.
During the New Year's celebration, there are injuries after getting a champagne cork or snowball in the eye, as well as burns from fireworks and firecrackers. Elina Minkhuzina, a doctor of the Republican Clinical Ophthalmological Hospital, told about these cases at a press conference in the Tatar-inform News Agency.
"The most common thing is a blow from a champagne cork. There are such requests every year. The second is to use firecrackers and sparklers. You need to buy all this in a certified store and observe safety regulations,"- the speaker said.
She added that there are requests because of the fighting, including in a state of alcoholic intoxication.
People come with injuries of varying severity: from bruises of the eye to burns and contusion of the eyeball.
Earlier, the Tatar-inform News Agency reported that in Kazan, the number of injuries caused by ice has decreased by 40% due to the pandemic.
