Fireworks eye injuries predominantly affect young males in India. Better initial vision and closed globe injuries improve outcomes, while bottle rockets and infections worsen them.

Area of Science:

  • Ophthalmology
  • Trauma Surgery
  • Public Health

Background:

  • Epidemiology and prognosis of fireworks-related ocular injuries in developing nations are not well-documented.
  • Tertiary eye care centers are crucial for managing severe eye trauma.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate the epidemiology and visual outcomes of fireworks-related ocular injuries.
  • To identify factors influencing visual prognosis in these injuries.

Main Methods:

  • Prospective observational study of consecutive ocular trauma cases over 1 year.
  • Ocular trauma classification and 6-month follow-up including best-corrected visual acuity (BCVA).

Main Results:

  • 26 patients, 96% male, 50% under 15 years old.

  • Bottle rockets caused 38.5% of injuries.
  • Better initial BCVA, closed globe injury, and absence of complications (relative afferent pupillary defect, intraocular foreign body, endophthalmitis) correlated with better final vision.

    • Conclusions:

    • Fireworks ocular injuries disproportionately affect young males in Northern India.
    • Early visual acuity and injury type significantly impact long-term visual outcomes.
    • Preventing bottle rocket injuries and managing complications like endophthalmitis are critical.
