Description
Background: Mechanical and non-mechanical ocular injuries can be distinguished. Mechanical wounds can pierce the eye or cause a severe damage. Despite the significance of ocular trauma for public health, there is a dearth of population-based data, particularly from poor nations, on its severity and risk factors. Aims & Objectives: The current investigation sought to examine the clinical profile of ocular blunt trauma at a teaching facility. Material and Methods: The current investigation involved patients of all ages who had a documented history of recent blunt ocular injuries. It was a prospective observational study. Results: 132 patients who had suffered blunt ocular trauma were assessed during the study period. The majority of patients were male (77.27%), in the 31 to 50 year age range (56.06%), had injuries to their right eye (53.03%), were farmers by profession (50%), and suffered their injuries while working in the fields (50%). Ecchymosis and lid edema (78.79%), sub conjunctival hemorrhage (72.73%), hyphaema (33.33%), lid laceration (22.73%), corneal abrasion (21.21%), traumatic iritis (9.09%), iris injury (9.09%), lens dislocation (1.52%), and traumatic cataract (1.52%) were the anterior segment pathologies found during the clinical examination. Berlin’s edema (4.55%), vitreous hemorrhage (4.55%), angle recession (4.55%), retinal detachment (3.03%), retinal/choroidal hemorrhage (1.52%), ruptured globe (1.52%), and choroidal rupture (1.52%) were the pathologies found in the posterior segment. The majority of patients (62.12%) were treated medically; some needed conservative treatment (28.19%); lens ectomy for traumatic cataract and lens dislocation (3.03%); laser treatment (3.03%); and in two cases, higher-level care was recommended due to retinal detachment (3.03%). In the majority of instances, improvement in eyesight was noticed at the 2-month follow-up. Conclusion: In the third to fifth decade, blunt ocular trauma is more common in men than in women. The avoidance of additional problems depends on early assessment of the severity of the injury and adequate therapy. Goggles, face shields, access to prompt emergency eye care management, and health education regarding eye protection should all be emphasized.
