Hello when a person suffers facial burns in a fire does the heat of the fire damage the eyes if the person has to keep them open if so what injurys would happen and would there be any damage to the iris

Thermal injuries to ocular tissues causes a certain type of damage. If the cornea, the clear part is damaged, it turns unclear, usually white, like the white part. We can't see through white, so vision is affected. If it's a 'minor' thermal injury, the cells will recover and the clarity of the cornea will return.

If there is so much thermal injury that the iris is damaged, the lens will be damaged as well, and the cornea will most likely be the Major concern of the person, and the doctor.

Where can I find the best information on treating Burn Injuries?

My brother was severely burned recently in a car accident after a drunk driver collided with a gas truck. The gas truck exploded killing the truck driver and colliding into my brother's vehicle and setting it on fire. My young brother is now in the hospital for severe 3rd degree burns that cover the entire left side of his body. I really have no idea where to go to get more information on 3rd degree burns and burn injuries. I need also need legal advice too.

I strongly urge you to contact The Burn Injury Hotline too 1-800-669-7700 they have a lot of really helpful support and legal advice.
