Patients who signed informed consent to participate in the study will receive corneal epithelial deplasia. The patient was instructed to follow up closely in the following year, and the recurrence of the patient was collected through wechat follow-up.
Traumatic corneal abrasion (TCA) refers to the injury or defect of the corneal epithelium caused by a foreign object (such as a nail, a tree branch, etc.), which is characterized by severe eye pain accompanied by red eyes, blepharospasm, photophobia, tearing, and a distinct foreign body sensation. TCA is one of the common eye injuries and ophthalmic emergencies, accounting for about 5%-10% in ophthalmic emergencies. Methods: The investigators conducted a clinical trial in adult patients with corneal trauma at the Zhongshan Ophthalmology Center of Sun Yat-sen University. Patients who signed informed consent to participate in the study were provided with corneal epithelial debridement. Patients were instructed to follow closely for the following year, and a pain log of the patient was collected at the last ophthalmology clinic visit.

wound recurrence
Wound recurrence during 12 months after treatment.
Time frame: month 12 after treatment
Incidence of wound infection
The incidence of wound infection during 12 months after treatment.
Time frame: week 1, week 2, month 1, month 2, month 3, month 6, month 9, and month 12.
The grading of pain for eyes
The degree of pain is evaluated during 12months after wounded. VRS(verbal rating scale)is used to evaluate the grading of pain,which is a line to describe the degrees of the pain that patients suffer from the disease, and the high scores is a worse outcome. The 5-point Verbal Rating Scale (VRS-5). ( )Mild ( )Discomforting ( )Distressing ( )Horrible ( )Lxcruciaring
Time frame: week 1, week 2, month 1, month 2, month 3, month 6, month 9, and month 12.
Corneal scar
It is evaluated by the doctor in follow-up during 12 months. The haze of the corneal scar,and the high scores is a worse outcome. The degrees : 0-clear cornea 0.5 - trace/just perceptible 1. \- easily seen with slit-lamp 2. \- moderate haze 3. \- pronounced haze, iris details still visible 4. \- "scarring", iris detail obscured (visible with pen torch)
Time frame: week 1, week 2, month 1, month 2, month 3, month 6, month 9, and month 12.
