Area of Science:

  • Ophthalmology
  • Pediatric Traumatology
  • Public Health

Background:

  • Pediatric ocular trauma is a leading cause of acquired monocular blindness in children globally.
  • Injury mechanisms in children can be unique, differing from adults and presenting public health concerns.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review and evaluate recent scientific literature on pediatric ocular trauma.
  • To identify unique aspects of pediatric eye injuries, including mechanisms, treatment, and prognosis.

Main Methods:

  • Comprehensive review of scientific literature from recent years.
  • Analysis of epidemiological data and clinical management strategies.

Main Results:

  • Ocular trauma causes significant visual disability in children; mechanisms vary and occur in everyday situations.

  • Orbital fractures in children require early surgical repair due to entrapment risks.
  • Traumatic hyphema management is effective with outpatient care and aminocaproic acid.
  • Iris-fixated lens implants improve traumatic cataract management.
  • Early intervention reduces the poor prognosis associated with endophthalmitis.

    • Conclusions:

    • This review enhances understanding of pediatric ocular trauma mechanisms, treatments, and prognostic factors.
    • Improved clinical care for pediatric eye injuries can be achieved through this knowledge.
