“…Right eye was found to be more involved in this study which was similar with M N Shishko et al (1999) [6] and Ron Koval at al (2008) [7] . The frequency of different type of ocular injuries found in the present study was also similar with the findings of M E Enock et al (2008) [8] , Boo Sup Oum (2004) [9] and Aman Sumeet Arora et al (2011) [10] .…”

Background: Agartala is one of the fastest growing cities in India. With rapid increase in the number of bikes and other motor vehicles, road traffic accidents (RTA) are also increasing sharply. Ocular trauma and resultant ophthalmic morbidities following RTA is common. Aims & Objective: To study the epidemiology and pattern of ocular trauma among the road traffic accident cases. Materials and Methods: A hospital based study was conducted during February to July 2013 among 700 road traffic cases attending Ophthalmology and Casualty Department of Agartala Govt. Medical College, Tripura. Descriptive statistics and chi square test were used for presenting data. Results: Out of 700 RTA patients 82.86% (580) were male and 17.14% (120) were female. Majority i.e. 76% (532) of the RTA cases occurred among the two-wheeler users, 42 (35.29 %) were drunk and 17% (119) of the RTA cased sustained ocular injuries. Among the ocular injury cases, 60% (72) suffered from ecchymosis. Out of 119 RTAs with ocular injuries, 22 (18.48%) had no PL at reporting due to due to ocular nerve injury and all of them failed to recover even after treatment. Conclusion: Two-wheeler accident is common and an important cause for loss of vision following RTA. Victims of RTA reporting with loss of vision due to optic nerve injury had poor visual prognosis. Hence, primary preventive approach through behaviour change communication among the bikers for promoting safe riding practices and strict implementation of traffic rules like riding at safe speed, wearing helmet and avoiding alcohol before driving are needed to prevent RTA associated blindness.

“…A high prevalence of an ophthalmic injury was observed in this study (77.6%) in all participants; this is in agreement with other studies that have also reported a high prevalence of ophthalmic injuries in patients with maxillofacial trauma. [ 3 19 20 ] Facial fractures have been reported to increase the risk of developing an ocular injury by a factor of 6.7 when compared with major trauma in patients with no facial fractures. [ 21 ] In this study, a majority of the patients did not have serious brain injury and were fully conscious at the time of injury.…”

Ocular injuries following motorcycle accidents mainly affect the conjunctiva, eyelids, and corneas and present with traumatic hemorrhage or laceration. Those injuries can coexist with head injuries and maxillofacial fractures, such as zygomatic or mandibular bone fractures, predominantly occurring without protective gear use 7 .Powered scooters and electric bicycle-related injuries include soft tissue injuries and fractures 8 . As for ocular injuries, eyelid injuries are the third most frequently sustained soft tissue injury, and orbital fractures are the most common osseous injuries 9 .

Electric bicycles and scooters have gained popularity among riders; studies assessing these device-related injuries have not specified ocular trauma. Our study examined the types and risk factors for ocular and periocular injuries associated with electric devices compared to motorcycle accidents. The study was conducted on the National Trauma Registry database from 20 trauma centers, including patients involved in accidents with electric bicycles, scooters, and motorcycles between 2014 to 2019. Injured riders were assigned into two groups: motorcycle group (M) and electric bicycle & scooter group (E). Data such as gender, age, protective gear use, ocular injury type, injury severity score (ISS), and ocular surgery were captured. Logistic regression models were conducted for injury types and the need for surgery. 8181 M-riders and 3817 E-riders were involved in an accident and hospitalized. E-riders suffered from ocular injury more than M-riders. Males were most vulnerable and the ages of 15–29. Orbital floor fracture was the most common injury, followed by ocular contusion, eyelid laceration, and other ocular wounds. Electric bicycle and scooter riders are more likely to suffer from ocular injury than motorcycle riders. Riders without helmets are at greater risk for injuries, specifically orbital floor fractures. ISS of 16 + was associated with injury demanding ocular surgery.
