Perforating eye injuries in children are often caused by sharp objects, with males being more affected. Implementing safety measures is crucial to reduce these ocular injuries.

Area of Science:

  • Ophthalmology
  • Pediatric Ophthalmology
  • Trauma Surgery

Context:

  • The study reviewed 140 pediatric cases of perforating eye injuries treated at the University of São Paulo's Clinic Hospital between 1989 and 1993.
  • These injuries constituted 24.71% of all perforating eye injuries during the study period.

Purpose:

  • To analyze the epidemiology and causes of perforating eye injuries in children.
  • To highlight the correlation between injury severity and patient prognosis.
  • To emphasize the importance of preventative safety measures.

Summary:

  • Sharp objects were the leading cause (54.71%), followed by contusions (20%), explosions (7.85%), and flying objects (5.71%).
  • Males predominated across all age groups: 0-6 years (2:1), 7-11 years (7:1), and 12-15 years (3:1).

  • The study underscores the link between the severity of ocular trauma and its impact on prognosis.

    • Impact:

    • Findings highlight the significant burden of pediatric eye injuries, predominantly from sharp objects.
    • Emphasizes the need for targeted safety interventions to decrease the incidence and morbidity of these injuries.
    • Provides data for public health initiatives aimed at preventing childhood eye trauma.
