Bird attacks caused eye injuries in 30 patients, with mynah birds being the most frequent culprits. Poor initial vision and infection significantly impacted final visual outcomes.

Area of Science:

  • Ophthalmology
  • Trauma Surgery

Background:

  • Bird attacks are an uncommon cause of ocular trauma.
  • Understanding the specific agents and injury patterns is crucial for effective management.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To describe the clinical characteristics and outcomes of 30 patients with bird attack-related eye injuries.
  • To identify the most common bird species involved and risk factors for poor visual prognosis.

Main Methods:

  • Retrospective case series of 30 patients treated at Farabi Eye Hospital (2010-2015).
  • Inclusion criteria: history of bird attack causing eye injury, minimum 6-month follow-up.
  • Ophthalmic examination including visual acuity, slit-lamp biomicroscopy, and photography; primary repair for penetrating injuries.

Main Results:

  • Mynah birds were the most common cause of injury (P < 0.001).
  • Zone 1 injuries were most frequent; lensectomy was rarely needed (P < 0.001).
  • Lower baseline best-corrected visual acuity (BCVA) and endophthalmitis were associated with worse final BCVA.

Conclusions:

  • Mynah birds are the predominant cause of ocular trauma from bird attacks in Iran, contrasting with prior reports.
  • Zone 1 injury and the presence of endophthalmitis are significant predictors of poorer visual outcomes.
