Area of Science:

  • Ophthalmology
  • Trauma Care

Background:

  • Contusion injuries to the eye can result from blunt force trauma.
  • These injuries may lead to significant visual impairment and structural damage to the retina.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To present a case of a young adult with a contusion eye injury.
  • To discuss the diagnostic findings and management strategies for ocular contusions.

Main Methods:

  • Case report of a 22-year-old female optometry student.
  • Clinical examination including slit-lamp, gonioscopy, and dilated fundus examination.
  • Detection of commotio retinae, macular involvement, vitreal hemorrhages, and peripheral retinal tears.

Main Results:

  • The patient presented with blurred vision following a contusion injury.
  • Examination revealed anterior chamber reaction, angle recession, commotio retinae with macular involvement, and vitreal hemorrhages.
  • Peripheral retinal tears were identified, necessitating further management.

Conclusions:

  • Ocular contusions require thorough examination to detect all associated injuries.
  • Early identification of retinal tears and other complications is vital for appropriate treatment.
  • Management strategies for blunt eye trauma are essential for preserving vision.
