Introduction: Penetrating eye injury is an important cause of visual impairment in pediatric population.Aims and Objectives: To study the epidemiology and visual outcome of penetrating eye injuries in pediatric population presented to Lumbini Eye Institute, the tertiary eye hospital of western Nepal.Materials and Methods: This retrospective study was conducted at the Department of Pediatric Ophthalmology and Strabismus, Lumbini Eye Institute over a period of one year from June 2014 to May 2015. All patients of penetrating eye injuries up to the age of 15 years were included in the study. The demographics of the patient, cause and duration of injury were recorded. The presenting and final best corrected visual acuity, anterior and posterior segment findings were recorded in specially designed proforma.Results: A total number of 127 children (127 eyes) presented with penetrating eye injuries during a year. The incidence of penetrating eye injury in one year was 127 out of 12927 new patients. Minimum age was 11 months, while the maximum age was 15 years with mean of 7.29 years (SD= ±3.49). Male and female patients were 99 (78%) and 28 (22%) respectively. Involvement of right eye was seen in 69 cases (54.33%) and left eye 58 (45.67%). The most common cause of injury was wooden stick in 55 cases (43.31%) followed by iron wire 12 (9.45%) and the stone 11 (8.66%). Corneal laceration was found in 102 cases (80.31%), scleral laceration in 10 (7.87%) and corneo-scleral laceration in 15 (11.81%). Seventy three percent patients were blind at the time of presentation whereas at discharge 37.63% were blind and 11.43% of patients had visual acuity better than 6/18 at presentation whereas 35.48% had visual acuity better than 6/18 after treatment.Conclusion: Penetrating eye injury is one of the common causes attending Pediatric Ophthalmology Department. Penetrating eye injury is common in male and majority of trauma is caused by wooden stick. The awareness of ocular trauma and its consequences should be increased to reduce incidence of childhood blindness.Asian Journal of Medical Sciences Vol.7(4) 2016 84-87

“…Home was found to be the most common location where trauma occurred (32 patients, 39%), followed by in the street (17 patients, 20.7%), consistent with other studies 2, 15, 18. Some studies indicated that a large proportion of injuries were work-related 19 .…”

“…In a study by Sethi 16 in Pakistan, the mean age of patients was under 30 years. In another study in Pakistan, men, particularly those between 18 and 40 years old, were most exposed (80%) to ocular trauma, 7 consistent with other studies 1, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22. This may have been due to the fact that most high-risk jobs are performed by men, and also because other incidents, such as brawls and driving accidents, are reported more in men.…”

PurposeOcular trauma is the third leading cause of hospitalization in ophthalmology patients, imposing direct and indirect physical and psychological costs on society. This study aims to investigate the status of ocular trauma in hospitalized patients in the industrialized city of Kashan in 2011.MethodsThis cross-sectional descriptive applied study was conducted in 2012 on patients hospitalized for ocular trauma. Data, including age, gender, occupation, education, timing of admission following accident, location of accident, type of injury, damaging instrument, and type of trauma, were collected using a questionnaire designed by a trained nurse, and analyzed using SPSS-16 software by means of means ± standard deviation, frequency, and percentage for descriptive data and t-test, one-way analysis of variance, Chi-square and Fisher exact test for analysis at significance level of p < 0.05.ResultsIn total, 82 patients were hospitalized due to ocular traumas. The majority of patients were male (65 patients, 79.3%). Their mean age was (25.4 ± 21.4) years, with an age range of 20–40 years (30 patients, 36.6%). Hyphema was the most common injury (26 patients, 25.5%), home was the most frequent incident location (32 patients, 39%), and knife or other cutting tools were mostly responsible for injuries (18 patients, 21.9%). Patients were hospitalized for 1–6 days, and the average length of stay in hospital was 2.63 days. Frequency distribution of injuries based on whether or not ruptures differed significantly among different age groups.ConclusionThe majority of ocular trauma occurred in young males. Knife was the principle culprit for eye injuries, followed by vehicles. To reduce such incidents, it is recommended that people be trained to avoid high-risk behaviors when using knives and to better heed driving rules and regulations.

“…In this study, children less than 15 (65.44%) years of age and males were predominantly affected (76%), which is consistent with the findings reported in literature. 7,8,[10][11][12] Children are the vulnerable age groups and more prone for injuries. Males are more frequently exposed to outdoor and dangerous works than females and hence more prone for ocular injuries.…”

“…Males are more frequently exposed to outdoor and dangerous works than females and hence more prone for ocular injuries. 7,[10][11][12] We found that students were commonly exposed to ocular trauma (58.8%). This reinforces the need for prevention of childhood injuries within home, outdoor activities and school.…”

Keywords: ocular trauma, open globe injury, close globe injury, visual outcome eye or adnexa and classified according to the Birmingham Eye Trauma Terminology system which included status of globe wall (open globe or closed globe), type of injury, zone of injury, grade of injury and pupillary abnormalities.Abstract Purpose:-To determine the clinical profile and the factors affecting the visual outcome of patients with ocular trauma Materials & Methods:-A retrospective review of medical records of patients with ocular trauma presenting at a tertiary referral centre, Eastern Nepal, from January 2015 to December 2015. Different pre-operative variables were reviewed and analyzed with the final visual acuity (VA).Results:-The cohort consisted of 136 patients (138 eyes). The mean age was 16.09±15.89 years (3 months -72 years) with male : female ratio of 3:1. Children < 15 years of age were predominantly affected (65%). Ninety nine (71.1%) sustained open globe injury (OGI) and 39 (28.3%) closed globe injury (CGI). Fifty one percent sustained injury while playing; wooden stick being the most common agent (36%). In this study, ocular injury was classified according to the Birmingham Eye Trauma Terminology and Ocular Trauma Classification System. Among OGI, zone I was more frequent (71.7%) followed by zone II (19 %) and zone III (9.09%). Contusion was the most common CGI (55.26%). On multivariate analysis using binary logistic regression, the factors affecting the final outcome were initial VA (p=0.004, OR 0.063, lens status (p=0.037, OR: 2.54, OR 6.44, group (OGI vs CGI, p=0.001) and hyphaema (p=0.020).Conclusions:-Children less than fifteen years and male patients were predominantly affected. Traumatic cataract, initial visual acuity, secondary glaucoma, group of injury and hyphaema adversely affected the final visual outcome. Statistical AnalysisStatistical analysis was performed using SPSS version 20.0. Statistical analysis of quantitative data, including descriptive statistics, parametric and non-parametric comparisons, was performed for all variables. Frequency analysis was performed by Chi-square test. Bivariate and multiple logistic regression analysis were used to find the correlation for pre-operative variables with the final visual Original Article www.djo.org.in
