S00.2: Other superficial injuries of eyelid and periocular area

Other superficial injuries of the eyelid and the periocular area refer to minor physical trauma that affects the eyelid or the area surrounding the eye. These injuries can occur due to various reasons such as accidental bumps, foreign bodies getting into the eye or eyelid, or minor cuts or abrasions. Symptoms often involve discomfort or pain, slight swelling, minor bleeding, and occasional redness of the affected area. However, despite being classified as superficial, these injuries can sometimes create complications, especially if foreign bodies aren't removed or if the injury site isn't properly cleaned and cared for, leading to potential infections. Moreover, the injury might impact the functioning of the eyelid, leading to irritation, difficulty blinking, or momentary vision problems. It is important to note that these injuries are relatively common and can occur in people of all ages.
