Ocular trauma, especially corneal injuries, can impair vision. This review presents a practical classification to aid in the detection, diagnosis, and treatment of corneal trauma for better patient outcomes.

Area of Science:

  • Ophthalmology
  • Trauma Surgery

Background:

  • Ocular trauma is a significant cause of vision impairment.
  • Corneal injuries constitute a substantial proportion, approximately two-thirds, of all ocular trauma cases.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review the prominent features of corneal trauma.
  • To present a practical classification system for corneal trauma management.

Main Methods:

  • Review of prominent features of corneal trauma.
  • Development of a practical classification method for management decisions.

Main Results:

  • Highlights key characteristics of corneal injuries.
  • Introduces a classification system to guide clinical decisions.

Conclusions:

  • Effective management of corneal trauma requires accurate detection, diagnosis, and triage.
  • The proposed classification aids in optimizing treatment strategies for patients with corneal trauma.
