Area of Science:

  • Ophthalmology
  • Pediatric Medicine
  • Public Health

Background:

  • Ocular trauma is a significant cause of preventable vision loss in children.
  • Understanding the epidemiology and risk factors for pediatric eye injuries is essential for effective intervention.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate the clinical characteristics of ocular trauma in children.
  • To identify key treatment and prevention strategies for pediatric ocular trauma.

Main Methods:

  • Retrospective analysis of clinical data from 77 children with ocular trauma.
  • Data collected between April 1999 and February 2002.

Main Results:

  • Ocular trauma predominantly affected males (2.21:1 ratio) and the right eye.

  • Penetrating injuries (83.12%) were more common than blunt trauma (12.99%).
  • Most injuries occurred from self-inflicted incidents (53.25%) or by others (42.86%), with 90.91% of patients from rural areas.

    • Conclusions:

    • Prompt medical attention can significantly reduce blindness rates in children with ocular trauma.
    • Public health initiatives focused on rural populations are vital to raise awareness and improve understanding of eye injury severity and management.
