Abstract: (106 Views)
Background: Ocular trauma is a debilitating condition and one of the most important and leading causes of visual impairments that have high socioeconomic consequences.
Objectives: This study aims to investigate the epidemiology of ocular trauma in patients referred to a tertiary center in northern Iran.
Materials & Methods: This cross-sectional study was carried out on 476 patients with ocular trauma referred to the eye emergency department of a teaching hospital in Guilan Province, north of Iran, in 2020-21. Personal and trauma-related information was extracted from the patient’s medical records using a checklist.
Results: Most patients were in the 31-40 age group (28.8%), with a mean age of 41.5±17.4 years. Most of the injuries occurred at home (57.1%). Few of the patients had used eye safety glasses (5.3%). Most of the patients were living in the city. Closed globe injuries were the common types of traumas (96%), and the prevalence of open globe injuries was at a very low level (4%).
Conclusion: Closed globe injuries are the most common types of ocular traumas in northern Iran. Most of the ocular traumas are preventable using eye protection equipment.
