Summary
Ocular trauma most frequently affects young males, with corneal laceration repair being the most common surgery. Patient visual acuity significantly improved post-operation, highlighting the effectiveness of surgical interventions for eye injuries.
Area of Science:
- Ophthalmology
- Trauma Surgery
- Public Health
Background:
- Ocular trauma is a leading cause of hospitalization for eye injuries.
- Eye injuries incur significant physical, psychological, and economic costs.
Purpose of the Study:
- To analyze the demographic characteristics, injury types, and surgical outcomes of patients with ocular trauma.
- To identify trends and inform preventive strategies for ocular trauma.
Main Methods:
- A 10-year retrospective descriptive cross-sectional study of 927 patients undergoing ocular trauma surgery.
- Data collected via checklist including demographics and injury variables.
- Statistical analysis using independent t-test and Chi-square test.
Main Results:
- Ocular trauma predominantly affects young males.
- Penetrating and non-penetrating injuries were observed across age groups.
- Corneal laceration repair was the most frequent surgery, with significant visual acuity improvement post-operatively.
- 81% of patients required only one surgical procedure.
Conclusions:
- Ocular trauma is common in young males, often requiring surgical repair like corneal laceration repair.
- Surgical intervention leads to significant visual acuity improvement.
- Preventive measures, including education on high-risk behaviors and workplace safety, are crucial.
