Dr. Jitendra Kumar, Dr. Jyoti Sharma
Abstract :
Blunt trauma is the major form of ocular trauma. Injuries to the eyes can be caused by blunt trauma from sport balls, fists, or airsoft/pellet/ guns e.t.c. Blunt trauma to the delicate structures of the eye requires immediate care to minimize the adverse consequences. The key factor for the best outcome possible is education of the patient, and what management is needed. A total of 87 Patients who had history of blunt ocular trauma, were included in this retrospective study. The main aim of this study was to evaluate Mode of injuries, various complications and visual outcome of blunt ocular trauma. Detailed history of mechanism of injury was noted and examination includes examination of the eyelids, face, eyeball, and orbital rim , visual acuity, peripheral vision by using perimetry, pupils reactivity , extra–ocular movements, anterior segment evaluation by slit lamp biomicroscope, fundus evaluation, gonioscopy, tonometry. OCT, X–ray and/or CT scan and/or B–scan and MRI were done wherever necessary. In this study, the male female ratio was 1.72:1 and most commonly affected age group was 20–40 years (45.98%). Most common mode of injuries were road traffic accidents (33.33%) followed by household and agriculture works (20.69%) and sports (19.54%). Most common presentation was subconjuctival hemorrhage (81.61%) followed by Ecchymosis and lid edema (74.71%). Majority of the patients (55.17%) gained their normal visual acuity after 2–3 months and 8.05% patients lost from the study. About 30% of patients with ocular injury had decreased vision and in about 2.3 % of cases the eye sight was lost
