    Retired boxers with eye trauma showed angle deformities but no secondary glaucoma. Despite long-term injury, ocular health remained stable, indicating resilience against glaucoma development.

    Area of Science:

    • Ophthalmology
    • Sports Medicine
    • Trauma Research

    Background:

    • Ocular trauma is a significant concern in contact sports.
    • Boxers are at high risk for blunt eye injuries.
    • Long-term consequences of boxing-related eye trauma require further investigation.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To assess the prevalence of ophthalmic complications in retired boxers.
    • To investigate the relationship between eye contusions and secondary glaucoma.
    • To evaluate long-term ocular health outcomes after boxing injuries.

    Main Methods:

    • Ophthalmic examinations were conducted on 55 retired boxers.
    • Data collected included angle deformities and signs of secondary glaucoma.
    • Eye proptosis measurements were compared between subjects with and without angle recessions.

    Main Results:

    • Nine eyes exhibited contusion angle deformities.
    • No cases of secondary glaucoma were diagnosed.
    • Eyes with angle recessions showed a trend towards increased proptosis, but the difference was not statistically significant (P > .05).

    Conclusions:

    • Blunt ocular trauma in boxers may lead to angle deformities without causing secondary glaucoma.
    • Long-term follow-up suggests a low risk of glaucoma development post-trauma.
    • Further research is needed to understand the biomechanics of eye injuries in boxers and their long-term sequelae.
