Public Awareness of Ocular Chemical Injuries: A Cross-Sectional Study in Lithuania.

Ophthalmic emergencies are acute conditions that progress rapidly, posing a significant threat to a patient's vision and requiring urgent intervention to prevent permanent visual impairment. This study aimed to assess the general awareness of ocular chemical burns and the adequacy of the immediate response measures while also seeking to improve the understanding of these injuries and contribute to promoting a healthier society. A comprehensive literature review was performed, and the most frequently reported questions were incorporated into the original survey.
