Abstract
Ocular trauma is an important public health problem and an important cause of monocular visual impairment and blindness. The principal objective of this study was to study the epidemiology and pattern of visual deficits following ocular trauma at a tertiary care centre in North India. A prospective, hospital based observational study was conducted on patients of ocular trauma attending emergency services and OPD in Regional Institute of Ophthalmology, PGIMS Rohtak, Haryana, India. 200 patients of ocular trauma attending emergency and OPD of Regional Institute of Ophthalmology PGIMS, Rohtak were included in the study. In our study, predominant age group involved was of 21-40 years comprising 43% cases because of more outdoor activities and more active lifestyle. Male to female ratio was found to be 4.8:1. Ocular trauma was found to be more common in students(37%) followed by labourers (20%), farmers(20%) and industry workers (13%). Road side accident was major cause of ocular trauma followed by assault. Ocular trauma is more common in young males which are productive population of economy. RSA was found to be most common cause of it. The visual outcome depends on initial visual acuity, type of injury, extent of ocular damage and time of presentation.
