T26-T28: Burns and corrosions confined to eye and internal organs
T26: Burn and corrosion confined to eye and adnexa
The grouping under "Burn and corrosion confined to eye and adnexa" refers to a range of conditions relating to damages caused to the eye and its surrounding structures by heat or chemical substances. These damages can occur through direct contact, such as in the case of a splash or spray, or through incorporation into the tissue like immersion or being trapped under the eyelids. No physical or infectious transmission occurs between individuals. Symptoms commonly include pain, redness, oozing, disturbances in vision, and, in some cases, the formation of a white or yellowish spot on the cornea. Progression of the condition could lead to visual impairment or blindness if not promptly treated. Irrespective of the severity, medical attention is vital as the eye and its surrounding parts are sensitive and essential for sight.
