Abstract
Aim: To identify the various types of ocular injury presenting in a tertiary hospital in northern India..Material & Methods: Hospital-based, retrospective study conducted over a period of one year. A total of 100 patients of ocular trauma were included. Results: Ocular injuries were more commonly seen in adult in age group 21-40 years (40 % ) patients who were involved in road side accident (42%). They were more common in male patients (64 % ). Closed globe injury (79 %) was more common than open globe injury (21 %) . 53 % of the patients had a visual acuity better than 6/60 at presentation; while after completed treatment at two months follow-up, 65 % had best corrected visual acuity better than 6/60. Conclusion: Blunt trauma following road side accident is most common cause of ocular injury in our population. The visual outcome depends upon the site and size of the injury and the extent of the ocular damage.
