Parameters taken were age, sex, profession of the patient, visual acuity and final vision at 3 months, anterior and posterior segment evaluation, imaging when required.

In this study majority ( 58.66%) patients had vision worse than 2/60 at presentation. It was also observed in this study that corneal laceration(50%) is more common compared to scleral laceration (32%) while 18% had a corneo-scleral laceration. Zone 3 injuries have the worst visual prognosis followed by zone 2 followed by zone 1.
