Ocular trauma is a significant public health issue, predominantly affecting males under 30. Violence and occupational hazards are leading causes, with open globe injuries being most frequent.

Area of Science:

  • Ophthalmology
  • Public Health
  • Trauma Research

Background:

  • Ocular trauma represents a substantial cause of vision impairment and blindness globally.
  • Understanding the epidemiology of eye injuries is crucial for developing effective prevention strategies.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To delineate the epidemiological patterns of ocular trauma.
  • To identify the primary causes and consequences of eye injuries.
  • To analyze the impact of ocular trauma on patient demographics and injury types.

Main Methods:

  • A retrospective case series design was employed.
  • Data from 1105 patients admitted with ocular trauma between January 1999 and June 2004 were analyzed.
  • Patient records were reviewed for details on age, gender, literacy, cause of injury, and effects on the eye.

Main Results:

  • Ophthalmic trauma accounted for 6.78% of hospital admissions.
  • Males under 30 years old constituted the majority of cases (80% male, 69% <30 years).
  • Open globe injuries (46.18%) were more prevalent than closed globe injuries (42.98%), with violence (37.37%) and occupational (24.43%) factors being the most common causes.

Conclusions:

  • Ocular trauma is a major public health concern, disproportionately affecting young males.
  • Delayed presentation of eye injuries is common, highlighting a need for increased awareness.
  • Violence and occupational accidents are key contributors to severe eye injuries, necessitating targeted prevention efforts.
