Journal Title: GJRA-Global Journal For Research Analysis - Year 2019, Vol 8, Issue 4
Abstract
Background: Ocular trauma is one of the main cause of corneal blindness which affects 12% of world's population & is amenable to treatment. The leading cause of non-congenital unilateral blindness in children is ocular trauma. Children suffer a higher percentage of open globe injuries than adults which yield worse visual outcomes in ocular trauma. Aims: The objective of the study was to analyse epidemiological pattern of perforating/penetrating ocular injuries. Materials & Methods: The present 5 years retrospective study involves all the patients who had been reported as a case of perforating/penetrating ocular injury in the tertiary care hospital. The records of all patients with perforating/penetrating ocular injury seen during this period were reviewed & data such as demographic details, presenting visual acuity, all ocular ndings, examinations etc were collected. Results: Total of 365 perforating/penetrating ocular injury patients were seen during study period. Maximum incidence of perforating/penetrating ocular injuries were noticed ≤10 years of age i.e. 36.2%. Males (79.5%) outnumbered females in the present study. Regarding structural involvement, cornea constitute (65.5%) perforating/penetrating injuries followed by corneoscleral i.e. 19.7%. Conclusion: From present study, we may conclude that maximum incidence of perforating/penetrating injuries are noticed in children with more preponderance in males. Corneal perforation is more common as it is the most exposed part of eye.
