“…Epidemiologic studies estimate that 3% of all emergency room visits are the result of eye injury, many times in combination with other orbital damages (1) or traumatic brain injury (2). They often result from car accidents, sports-related activities (1), or falls (3) in patients reporting severe brain or facial injuries.…”
Detailed clinical history, well-done preoperative examination, early diagnosis, and prompt parasurgical or surgical repair are significant prognostic factors for better visual outcome and lower incidence of relapse.
