Epidemiology 40%of monocular blindness is related to trauma The leading cause of monocular blindness 70-80%injured are male Age range is 0-100 yrs but most are young average age 30yr Incidence of penetrating eye injuries:3.6/100000 。 Incidence of Eye injuries requiring hospitalisation: 15.2/100000
Epidemiology • 40% of monocular blindness is related to trauma – The leading cause of monocular blindness • 70-80% injured are male • Age range is 0-100 yrs but most are young – average age 30yr • Incidence of penetrating eye injuries: 3.6/100000 • Incidence of Eye injuries requiring hospitalisation: 15.2 /100000
Sources of Injury Blunt objects-30-40% rocks,fists,branches,champagne corks Motor Vehicle Injuries-9% ·Play or sports-l/3 -golf/squash balls,shoulder/elbow,bats/racquets,horse ·Falls-4% ·Sharp objects-l8% Globe involvement in 22%of cases
Sources of Injury • Blunt objects - 30-40% – rocks, fists, branches, champagne corks • Motor Vehicle Injuries - 9% • Play or sports - 1/3 – golf/squash balls, shoulder/elbow, bats/racquets, horse • Falls - 4% • Sharp objects - 18% • Globe involvement in 22% of cases
Classification Causative factors of injury -Mechanical ocular trauma -Non-mechanical ocular trauma 。Degree of injury -Microtrauma Moderate injury -Macrotrauma
Classification • Causative factors of injury – Mechanical ocular trauma – Non-mechanical ocular trauma • Degree of injury – Microtrauma – Moderate injury – Macrotrauma
