Pattern of ocular trauma in Egypt

Abstract

The majority of ocular trauma in our population was due to assaultive injuries occurring mainly in males. Open globe injuries were more common than closed globe injuries, and globe lacerations were more common than ruptured globes. Open globe injuries, especially ruptured globes, had the worst visual outcomes. The initial visual acuity correlated well with the final visual acuity. Immediate and comprehensive medical care is mandatory for ocular trauma patients. Educating the public is essential if we wish to prevent eye injuries.

A new ocular trauma score in pediatric penetrating eye injuries

“…Other studies on trauma epidemiology confirm a male predominance, with a male : female ratio varying between 1.25 and 5.5. 3,14,18,19 The male : female ratio in this study was 1.42. This may reflect the more aggressive characteristics of male behaviour even in childhood aged.…”

Pattern of open eye injuries in northwest of Turkey: Retrospective study

“…In addition to cultural habits, socioeconomic status and education have a role in both the occurrence and outcomes of the injury. [5][6][7][8][9] This study retrospectively analyzes the clinical characteristics, prognostic factors and visual outcome of patients with open globe injuries presenting to the Department of Ophthalmology, Kocaeli University Faculty of Medicine, Turkey. Kocaeli is located in the northwest part of Turkey, which is both an agricultural and important industrial center.…”

“…[3,12] Recently, studies in Asia, the Middle East and Europe are emerging. [6][7][8][9] The hospital records of patients with open globe injury have been used as a source of information and provide important insights into the epidemiology of open globe injury in the Turkish population.…”

Profile of ocular trauma and its visual outcome at tertiary care hospital in North-West Rajasthan
