Purpose To investigate the epidemiology of types of ocular trauma in a tertiary center in north of Iran.Methods This cross-sectional study was carried out on 476 patients with ocular trauma referred to emergency eye department of Amir-Almomenin Hospital in 2021. Personal information and types of traumas collected by medical records and a designed questionary. Data were collected and analyzed using IBM SPSS 26. Descriptive statistics were used to determine the frequency and distribution of traumas.Results The most vulnerable groups were 31–40 years (28.8%) and mean age of 41.5 ± 17.4. Most of the injuries occurred at home (57.1%) and few of them used eyewear (5.3%). Patients were mostly lived in city. Closed globe injuries were the prominent types of traumas at about (96%) and Open close injuries were at a low rate (4%).Conclusion Ocular Trauma is a common cause of trauma in north of Iran. Closed globe injuries were the most common types of traumas occurred between the age of 30–40 and male were most commonly susceptible

“…Ocular trauma is a significant cause of avoidable monocular vision loss. [1], [2] Fifty-five million cases of ocular trauma are estimated to occur annually, and 34% of the cases lead to vision loss or blindness. [3] The extensive socioeconomic burden may follow the incidence of ocular trauma; however, it is often neglected.…”

Introduction: Ocular trauma is an important cause of unilateral visual impairment and blindness. Among several agents of ocular trauma, blunt trauma is the most common and can lead to secondary glaucoma. Secondary glaucoma due to blunt ocular trauma can be unnoticed and undetected until the formation of glaucomatous optic neuropathy (GON) occurs. This case might not be neglected. Delay in treatment can lead to the progression of GON. Case Presentation: A 68-year-old woman presented to the outpatient clinic in Undaan Eye Hospital complaining of decreased vision and pain in the left eye after blunt trauma to the eye. Her left eye vision was limited to detecting hand motions (1/300) and the intraocular pressure (IOP) was 37.8 mmHg. On the slit lamp biomicroscopic examination, the left pupil was mid-dilated, lens opacification and phacodenesis were detected. The cup-to-disc ratio (CDR) of the left eye increased (0.8-0.9) through the funduscopic examination. Secondary glaucoma due to subluxated lens was diagnosed for the left eye. The patient was given topical and oral antiglaucoma medications and was evaluated after one week of drug use. Since the IOP remained elevated after medical therapy, left eye trabeculectomy was conducted. Bleb was formed postoperatively and the IOP was getting normal without oral glaucoma medications. Conclusion: Blunt ocular trauma can lead to secondary glaucoma. Thorough examinations and immediate treatments should be conducted to preserve patient’s vision and prevent further optic nerve damage.

“…Ocular trauma is a major cause of visual impairment worldwide, causing monocular blindness in approximately 490 per 100,000 people in developing countries. 1 Open-globe injury (OGI) involves a full-thickness eyewall wound, 2 constitutes about 10% of all ocular injuries, and is associated with more severe complications, more prolonged treatment, and worse prognosis compared to closed-globe injuries. 3 Majority of patients with OGIs had a visual acuity (VA) of less than 20/200, of which 9%–11% had no light perception (NLP) at presentation.…”

Background: This review summarized prophylactic retinectomy technique and its effect on anatomic and functional outcomes in severe open globe injuries (OGIs). Methods: A comprehensive search in PubMed (MEDLINE), Embase, Scopus, and EuropePMC databases was performed up until 8 January 2020. Enrolled studies include case series, studies involving pars plana vitrectomy (PPV) combined with retinectomy in severe penetrating injuries with or without IOFB, perforating injuries, and globe ruptures. Primary outcome was best-corrected visual acuity (BCVA) ⩾20/200 at the end of the study. Secondary outcomes were the rate of proliferative retinopathy (PVR), globe survival rate and retinal reattachment rate. Results: A total of seven studies, involving 275 eyes with severe OGIs, is included in this study. Meta-analysis indicates that final BCVA ⩾20/200 was achieved in 61% (95% CI 49%–73%). Meta-regression analysis showed that improvement was inversely affected by the presence of pre-operative direct macular injury ( p = 0.001) and corneal scar ( p = 0.015). The proportion of pre-operative BCVA <20/200 was statistically insignificant to the final BCVA ⩾20/200 ( p = 0.569). One study showed that the rate is higher in the retinectomy group than the non-retinectomy group (54% vs 11%). Meta-analysis showed that anatomical success can be achieved in 85% (95% CI 78%–91%) of the patients. Meta-regression analysis indicates that the anatomical success did not vary with age ( p = 0.653), retinal detachment ( p = 0.525), corneal scar ( p = 0.596), and lens involvement ( p = 0.450). Conclusion: Early PPV combined with retinectomy was associated with acceptable visual improvement and anatomical success.
