ABSTRACT

Se efectuó un estudio observacional, descriptivo y transversal de 65 pacientes con traumas oculares, pertenecientes al área de salud del Policlínico Universitario Julián Grimau de Santiago de Cuba, desde Junio del 2010 hasta igual mes del 2011, con vistas a identificar las principales características clinicoepidemiológicas de los afectados. En la serie predominaron las contusiones (32,3 por ciento), las heridas corneales (32,9 por ciento), las erosiones corneales (27,6 por ciento), así como las hemorragias subconjuntivales y los hifemas (23,7 por ciento, cada uno). Por tales razones se recomendó realizar estudios que reflejen la prevalencia e incidencia de la mencionada afección en esta provincia
