Ocular emergencies predominantly affect males, with trauma-related cases nearly as common as non-traumatic ones. Most ocular emergencies require surgery and longer hospital stays.

Area of Science:

  • Ophthalmology
  • Emergency Medicine

Background:

  • Ocular emergencies (OE) represent a significant portion of hospital admissions.
  • Understanding the demographics and causes of OE is crucial for effective management.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To describe clinical data regarding ocular emergencies.
  • To analyze the management of ocular emergencies, including surgical interventions and hospital stay.

Main Methods:

  • A descriptive study analyzing computer records of admitted ocular emergencies.
  • Data collected included gender, age, etiology, procedures performed, and hospital stay.

Main Results:

  • Ocular emergencies constituted 18.49% of total admissions, predominantly affecting males (2:1 ratio).

  • Non-traumatic OE (53.95%) were common in those over 40, with corneal ulcers and glaucoma as leading causes. Traumatic OE (47.16%) were more frequent in those under 40, with open globe injuries being the primary cause.
  • 13.7% of total major ophthalmic surgeries were performed for OE, with an average hospital stay of 5.5 days.

    • Conclusions:

    • Ocular emergencies disproportionately affect males.
    • Traumatic and non-traumatic ocular emergencies are nearly equal in incidence.
    • The majority of ocular emergencies necessitate surgical intervention and result in extended hospitalizations.
