T26-T28: Burns and corrosions confined to eye and internal organs
Burns and corrosions confined to the eye and internal organs refer to a group of conditions wherein damage is caused due to exposure to extreme heat, harmful chemicals, or radiation. With eye burns, symptoms may include pain, redness, watery eyes, blurred vision, and even temporary or permanent vision loss. Chemical burns and corrosions in the internal organs may occur due to accidental ingestion or inhalation of harmful substances, and initial symptoms could range from difficulty in swallowing or breathing, to intense abdominal pain. These injuries can have adverse effects on various bodily systems, including the respiratory, digestive, and visual system, depending upon the organ affected and severity of exposure. Disease progression may vary, possibly leading to complications such as infections, scarring, organ dysfunction, or even blindness in cases of severe eye burns.
