The Epidemiology of Open Globe Injuries of the Eye

Öz

ObjectiveFifty-three eyes of 53 patients with open eye injury who admitted Kırıkkale University Faculty of Medicine Department of Ophthalmology between January 1 2014-May 1 2017 were included in this retrospective study in order to evaluate the epidemiological factors.

Material and Methods: Patient data were retrieved from patient’s examination files. Patient data included age, gender, type of trauma (sharp/blunt), location and nature of trauma. Visual acuity at the time of presentation and at discharge were recorded using Snellen’s visual acuity chart. Details of slit lamp examination including fundus examination were noted.

Results: Of the patients, 43 (81.1%) were male and 10 (18.9%) were female. Men had a higher rate of open globe trauma than women (p<0.001). The incidence of eye injury decreased with increasing age. Work-related injuries constituted 54.7%of traumatic injuries. Home accidents constituted 22.6%, traffic accidents constituted 7.5%, outdoor related activities constituted 13.2%, and sports-related injuries constituted 1.9%of all open globe injuries.

Conclusion: The consequences of open globe injuries treatment are not good for patients. Most of these injuries are preventable. Prioritizing job security and educational activities that will raise the public's awareness on this issue can reduce the rate of such injuries.
