Blunt Ocular Trauma

Ocular trauma can be broadly classified into open and closed injuries. However, many subclassifications were reported based on the causative object and extent of the injury. The diagnosis and management of the various ocular traumas are different based on the underlying etiology, the severity of the case and the potentially related complications. Accordingly, in the present study, we aimed to conduct a thorough discussion about the diagnosis, treatment, complications of the blunt and penetrating ocular traumas and the potential differences between the two types of injuries. Our findings indicated that the diagnosis of the conditions mainly differed in the step of obtaining an adequate history from the affected patients based on the diagnosis of the condition that can be established. Furthermore, a routine examination should also be performed for both cases to enhance the prognosis and preserve vision. In addition, prognosis is usually worse in cases of penetrating or perforating injuries where eye inoculation might be indicated in severe cases. A detailed description of this information is provided within the manuscript based on the etiology of the underlying ocular injury and the related prognostic outcomes.

Care Study

Aim- To study the change in demography and injury pattern of ocular trauma during the lockdown period tothat of a similar period of the previous year. Materials & Methods- This is a retrospective analysis of the data of 362 patients with ocular trauma during the lockdown period from 25 March 2020 to 3 May 2020 and during a similar period of the previous year at a tertiary eye care center in India. Results- There was a decrease of 62.87% of patients of ocular trauma during the lockdown period because of the restricted lifestyle. Although home related and violence-related trauma increased, there was a decrease in trafc and sports-related trauma. Patients with chemical injury by sodium hypochlorite also had a sharp rise. Majority of the patients presented after two days during this period. Conclusion- Guidelines for mass health education and awareness about the risk of ocular trauma, morbidity caused by delayed presentation, and need to adopt safety or preventive strategies should be formulated so that future strategy can be planned to ght with the next pandemic or epidemic.

Ocular Injuries

A postal survey was conducted to determine the use of eye protection and incidence of ocular trauma in orthodontic practice. One-hundred-and-fifty-nine NHS orthodontic consultants and 203 specialist orthodontic practitioners were surveyed. Two-hundred-and-forty-one(66·5 per cent) replies were received. Some form of eye protection was routinely worn by 66·8 per cent of orthodontists, 64·3 per cent of patients, but only 33·6 per cent of DSAs. Eye protection was not offered to DSAs in 31·9 per cent of practices or to patients in 22·1 per cent. Forty-three per cent of orthodontists reported instances of ocular injury in their practices. The majority of these injuries (n = 104) occurred during debonding or trimming acrylic. Other incidents involved ligating materials, intra-oral polishing, and acid etching. Most injuries (83·5 per cent) were treated in the surgery without any long-term effects. The routine use of goggles or spectacles with side-pieces and plastic lenses, which conform to British Standard BS 2092, is recommended for staff and patients during all operative procedures in orthodontic practice.

Blunt Ocular Trauma

Open globe injury (OGI) is a severe form of eye trauma. It is an important cause of monocular blindness worldwide. Ruptures from blunt trauma are most common at the sites where the sclera is thinnest, at the insertions of the extraocular muscles, and at the limbus. Most often, rupture is equatorial. We present a unique case of open globe injury due to blunt ocular trauma from a thrown rock that resulted in a meridional rupture of the eye. The pertinent literature is reviewed.

Introduction: Ocular trauma is a major cause of monocular blindness and visual impairment throughout the world. It is estimated that more than 2 million people suffer from ocular trauma annually and 40,000 become visually handicapped permanently. The aim of this study was to evaluate the visual outcome in open globe injury patients. Methods: This study was conducted in Nepal Eye Hospital. All the cases of admitted open globe injuries were examined and managed in the hospital were included in this study. The detail history of trauma and visual acuity was recorded. Clinical diagnosis was made after detail examination of anterior and posterior segment.  Patient was treated according to the type of injury. Visual recovery and the cause of poor vision at the time of discharge was also noted. Data was analyzed using the SPSS 11 program. Results: Out of the 100 cases enrolled in the study work related injury was the most frequent injury, metal was the most common causative agent. Males of 20-50 years of age are more vulnerable to open globe injury. Vision improved in 48%, same vision in 39% and deteriorated vision in 13% cases was recorded. Conclusions: Present study reveals that open globe injury can present in varying severity and though the overall prognosis is grave, prompt surgical intervention can result in better visual outcome. The visual outcome in mild to moderate ocular injury was satisfactory but poor in severe injuries.Medical Journal of Shree Birendra Hospital; July-December 2012/vol.11/Issue2/40-43 DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.3126/mjsbh.v11i2.7909

We present a case of a patient who underwent ultrasound evaluation for potential blunt ocular trauma. She was found to have multiple, freely mobile, scintillating hyperechoic opacities within the vitreous that was diagnosed as asteroid hyalosis, a rare but benign condition easily confused with vitreous hemorrhage, retinal detachment, lens dislocation, or foreign body on ocular ultrasound.
