Abstract
Purpose: to review the epidemiology of ocular trauma among ophthalmic patients attending to Aswan University Hospital
Patients & methods: A cross-sectional hospital based study estimating patients sustained ocular trauma within one year period (Jan 2020 - Dec 2020), the association between variables was checked by Chi-square test
Results: 701 eyes of 607 patients had sustained ocular trauma in one year period (2020). The mean age of the patients was (23.02 ± 11.52) years, (79.7%) were males and (20.3%) were females, with a male to female ratio of (3.9:1). The majority of injuries were adnexal injuries (38.5%) followed by globe injuries (26.4%), extra global foreign body (18.1%), chemical injuries (2.7%) and intra mural foreign body (0.9%). In globe injuries; (10%) (70) were open globe; ((60) eyes with rupture globe, (6) eyes with penetrating injury, (3) eyes with intraocular foreign body) and (16.4%) (115) were closed globe; ((4.4%) (25) were contusion whereas (12%) (52) were lamellar laceration). The most common eye injury was periocular ecchymosis and oedema (19.1%).
