There was no structural damage to the blood vessels or deeper tissue layers. The lid was noted to be in good position, and then all skin lacerations were closed using a combination of 6-0 running and 6-0 interrupted nylon. The patient then had his eye dilated, and exam under anesthesia was carried out using an indirect ophthalmoscope. There was no evidence of trauma to the globe or the posterior pole.
