Journal Title: World Journal of Pharmaceutical Sciences - Year 2016, Vol 4, Issue 9
Abstract
Eye injuries have been known since ancient times. Although nature has provided a protective bony wall and lids to cover the eye to protect it from injury, it is still exposed to all types of trauma. The role of ocular injuries in causation of blindness has been a subject of immense importance and will remain so because of the rapid industrialization and mechanized farming which is coining up in our country. Cross-sectional observational study. Patients attending the outpatient Dept of Ophthalmology, Fathima Institute of Medical Sciences, Kadapa, AP., with a history of mechanical ocular injuries from January 2013 to December 2015.
