Ocular contusion can cause various retinal breaks, with dialyses being most common. Prompt examination of the retina is crucial following eye trauma to detect these injuries.

Area of Science:

  • Ophthalmology
  • Retinal Surgery
  • Trauma Care

Background:

  • Ocular contusion is a significant cause of retinal breaks.
  • Various retinal break types can result from blunt eye trauma.
  • Retinal dialyses are the most frequent break associated with ocular contusion.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To summarize the types of retinal breaks resulting from ocular contusion.
  • To emphasize the importance of thorough retinal examination after trauma.

Main Methods:

  • Literature review of retinal breaks associated with ocular contusion.
  • Analysis of clinical presentations and injury mechanisms.

Main Results:

  • Common retinal breaks include horseshoe tears, operculated holes, large irregular breaks, macular holes, and retinal dialyses.

  • Supranasal dialyses and large irregular breaks show a high correlation with trauma.
  • Macular holes can arise from vitreous detachment or retinal edema secondary to trauma.

    • Conclusions:

    • A history of trauma necessitates careful examination of both the posterior pole and retinal periphery.
    • Binocular assessment is essential for a comprehensive retinal evaluation following ocular contusion.
