“…Sports equipment was the major cause for eye injuries (15%) and the same has been observed in previous studies (Strahlman et al 1990;McEwen et al 1999;Hoskin et al 2016). Instead, in other Scandinavian countries airsoft pellet guns in Denmark (17.4%) and projectiles in Norway (21.5%) were the most common injury mechanism (Takvam & Midelfart 1993;Saunte & Saunte 2008).…”

“…One relatively simple approach is to advocate the use of suitable eye protection when engaging in potentially high-risk activities as has been advocated by several previous authors. 23 – 26 It is now mandatory for squash players <19 years of age to wear protective eyewear when playing in England squash tournaments. This is a beacon of best practice.…”

PurposePediatric ocular trauma is an important cause of visual morbidity worldwide, accounting for up to one-third of all ocular trauma admissions. It has long-term implications for those affected and significant economic consequences for healthcare providers. It has been estimated that 90% of all ocular trauma is preventable. Targeted strategies are required to reduce the incidence and the severity of pediatric ocular trauma; this requires an understanding of the epidemiology and characteristics of these injuries and the children involved.MethodsProspective, observational study of pediatric ocular trauma cases presenting to UK-based ophthalmologists over a 1-year period; reporting cards were distributed by the British Ophthalmological Surveillance Unit, and clinicians were asked to report incidents of acute orbital and ocular trauma in children aged ≤16 years requiring inpatient or day-case admission. A validated, standardized questionnaire was sent to reporting ophthalmologists to collect data on the demographics and circumstances of injury.ResultsMedian age at presentation was 7.7 years, with boys more than twice as likely to be affected than girls (M:F =2.1:1.0). Almost 50% of injuries occurred at home, with 25% occurring in school or nursery. A total of 67% of injuries occurred during play, and 31% involved a sharp implement.ConclusionPediatric ocular trauma remains an important public health problem. At least three-quarters of all injuries are preventable through measures, including education of children and responsible adults, restricting access to sharp implements, improving adult supervision, and appropriate use of eye protection.

“…Corneal laceration, globe rupture and hyphaema are the most frequent eye injuries caused by fishhook, fishing lure or weights. In a study by Hoskin et al [7] fishing-related eye injuries were found in 7% of sport-related injuries in a Western Australian pediatric population.…”

Uncommon severe blunt ocular injury associated with large retinal dialysis caused by a fishing sinker

Introduction. Severe ocular injuries caused by fishing equipment are relatively rare. The visual prognosis for fishing-related injuries depends on the involved ocular structures, the presence of complications, and surgical techniques applied. Case outline. A 40-year-old man reported a sudden severe sharp pain and a loss of vision in his left eye while he was pulling the fishing rod during recreational fishing. At admission, his best corrected visual acuity (BCVA) of the left eye was 1/60. Clinical examination revealed a laceration in the temporal quadrant of the bulbar conjunctiva 0.2?0.3 mm in size and a dark tumefaction under the conjunctiva in the same region. It was identified during primary surgical exploration as a fishing sinker 1 cm in size lodged under the lateral rectus muscle. The bulbar wall was intact and the fishing sinker was safely removed. Phacoemulsification with the implantation of an artificial foldable intraocular lens and 23G pars plana vitrectomy were performed. During vitrectomy, subretinal hemorrhage in the macular region and large retinal dialysis in the temporal segment were revealed. Vitrectomy was finished with silicone oil tamponade. One week later, the patient?s BCVA of the left eye was 2/60. Eight months after surgery, spontaneous resorption of subretinal hemorrhage in the macular region and the attached retina was observed. The patient?s BCVA was 3/60 due to the destruction of photoreceptors and retinal pigment epithelium and the formation of epiretinal membrane. Conclusion. To our knowledge, this is the first case report of a severe blunt ocular injury associated with large retinal dialysis caused by a fishing sinker.
