“…Most studies in the existing literature have shown that male patients formed the overwhelming majority of patients presenting with eye injuries, ranging from 70% to 87% of all ocular trauma. [6][7][8][9][10][11] Similar to the literature, 83% of the patients in the present study were male and the mean age was 34.16 years, and this corresponds to most other studies, which reported a mean age of about 30 years. [4,6,10,11] When we considered the setting of the injury, 72.1% of the patients had work-related injuries, and this result is similar to the preexisting literature.…”

AMAÇYüzeysel korneal yabancı cisimler acil servise sık başvu-ran olgulardır. Bu çalışmanın amacı, acil servise yabancı cisimlerle oluşan göz travmasıyla başvuran olguları tanımlamak ve göz travmasının önlenmesi ve acil servis yö-netim stratejilerini tartışmaktır. GEREÇ VE YÖNTEMÇalışma geçmiş iki yılın kayıtları incelenerek geriye dönük olarak yapıldı. Demografik bilgiler, yaralanma zamanı, yaralanma tipi (açık veya kapalı glob yaralanması), yabancı cismin ne olduğu, hastane yatış ve oftalmoloji konsültasyo-nu varlığı, uygulanan tedaviler ve geç dönemde görülen kalıcı hasarlar kaydedildi. BULGULARToplam 476 hasta çalışmaya alındı, hastaların %83'ü erkekti, ortalama yaş 34,16±14,02 idi. Yaralanmaların %9,7'si açık glob yaralanması iken, kalanlar yüzeysel yabancı cisim bulunan veya bulunmayan kapalı yaralanmalardı. En sık görü-len yabancı cisimler metal çapakları (%37,6) ve toz (%31,1) olarak saptandı. Hastaların çoğunda (%72,1) iş yerinde yaralanma söz konusuydu. Hastaların %42,4'ü oftalmoloji ile konsülte edilirken, diğer hastalar acil tıp asistan ve uzmanları tarafından tedavi edildi. Hastaların %10'u hastaneye yatırıldı ve %2,3'ünde uzun dönemde komplikasyon görüldü. SONUÇGöz yabancı cisim travmaları en çok genç sağlıklı erkeklerin, iş nedenli yaralanmaları olarak oluşmaktadır. Çok sayıda göz travması acil servislerde görüldüğü için, acil servis hekimleri yüzeysel korneal yabancı cisimlerin tanın-ması, tedavisi ve yönetimi konusunda eğitilmelidir.

“…5 13 A quarter to half of these injuries are work-related. [14][15][16] A recent statewide population-based study in California using hospital discharge data estimated an annual incidence of severe ocular injury in the workplace of 1.76 or 2.98 per 100,000 employed persons when ocular trauma was defined as either the "principal discharge diagnosis" or the "principal or secondary discharge diagnosis," respectively. 17 However, there was no information on the external causes of injuries in this study, information that is important for the design of cost-effective prevention strategies.…”

“…[2][3][4] Children are overrepresented among individuals with serious eye injuries, accounting for approximately one-third of cases. 5,6 Most surgeons agree that vitreoretinal surgical techniques allow many poor prognosis eyes to be salvaged, 7,8 but trauma remains a leading cause of monocular blindness in children. 9 We wish to report the indications for, complications of, and outcomes of vitreoretinal intervention in the management of childhood ocular trauma.…”

Aim In adults modern vitreoretinal surgery allows many traumatised eyes to be salvaged. However, one third of serious eye injuries occur in the paediatric age group and trauma is a leading cause of monocular blindness in childhood. This study aims to report the indications, complications and outcomes for vitreoretinal surgical intervention after childhood ocular trauma. Methods Retrospective case note review of 61 children (age 16 years or less) undergoing vitreoretinal surgical procedures following ocular trauma at a tertiary referral centre. Results Twenty-eight children (45.9%) had open globe injuries (OGI) and 33 closed globe injuries (CGI, 54.1%). The mean age of children with OGI was 9.5 years and with CGI 12.3 years (P ¼ 0.0068). Forty-seven children had traumatic retinal detachments (77.1%), which in 17 cases were treated with conventional scleral buckling surgery and in 30 by vitrectomy. Retinal re-attachment was achieved after one procedure in 70.6% with scleral buckling and 46.7% with vitrectomy.
