    Area of Science:

    • Ophthalmology
    • Sports Medicine
    • Trauma Surgery

    Background:

    • Traumatic retinal detachment is a severe ocular injury.
    • Boxing involves frequent head trauma, posing risks to athletes.
    • Previous reports document similar injuries in combat sports.

    Observation:

    • Five cases (six eyes) of retinal detachment were documented following fisticuffs.
    • A significant proportion of affected eyes (at least four) resulted in blindness.
    • These findings align with existing literature on boxing-related ocular trauma.

    Findings:

    • Fisticuffs in boxing are a direct cause of retinal detachment.
    • The incidence of permanent vision loss from these injuries is high.
    • Punches to the head are integral to boxing and contribute to these injuries.

    Implications:

    • The findings underscore the severe risks of blindness associated with boxing.
    • There is a critical need to address the high incidence of traumatic eye injuries in sports.
    • Rejection of brutal boxing is recommended due to the potential for irreversible damage and life-threatening outcomes.
