ABSTRACT

Aims: MethodsTo study the presentation and visual outcome of Ocular trauma patients in arid area of Rajasthan, India. and Material: A prospective study was conducted from 1st January to 31st December 2013 in medical college associated hospital. Patients with ocular injuries of suf?cient severity (require surgical intervention or indoor treatment with close supervision ) were hospitalized. Detailed history was taken with respect to demographics, cause and type of injury, time to and type of ophthalmic treatment. All patients who were admitted, were clinically examined, medical and/or surgical management were done and followed up to assess visual out come and complications. Male and Female patients ratio was 2.69: 1, with mean presentation age of 19 years. Total 33 out of 48 patients referredResult: early within 48 hours of injury. Home was the most common place (43.75%) and wooden object was most common object of injuries. No safety measure was used in any of the workplace injury. Most common clinical ?ndings were corneal tear (41.66%) followed by Hyphema (35.41%). Total 63.33% patients had improvement of 2 lines on Snellen chart in visual acuity. Males are more prone to injury than females in allConclusion: age groups, Open globe injury is main culprit for hospitalization in ocular trauma. Primary wound repair provided visual improvement of 2-3 line on snellens chart in most of patients.

ABSTRACT

Background: Ocular trauma is preventable and one of the leading causes of ocular morbidity and blindness. Approximately 6 million people are blind from eye injuries, 2.3 million with bilateral visual impairment and 19 million with unilateral visual loss worldwide. In developing countries like ours the incidence of eye injuries is very high. This study has been conducted in the view of public health importance to provide information on magnitude, clinical and epidemiological profile of ocular injuries. Methods: A hospital based, cross sectional observational study, conducted during September 2014 - March 2016 in tertiary care center in Jharkhand, all cases of ocular trauma were included in the study. Demographic profile (age, sex, locality, occupation), nature and cause of injury was recorded. Detailed ophthalmological examination including visual acuity, slit lamp examination, indirect ophthalmoscopy, B-scan, intraocular pressure measurement, gonioscopy, computed tomography brain with orbit, Magnetic Resonance Imaging, X-Ray were done in relevant cases. Results: Total of 948 patients of ocular trauma were included. Most patients belong to the age group 21-40 years (60.87%), with mean age of 29.79 + 16.47 years. Males were affected more (73.52%) than females (26.47%). Closed globe injuries were more (75%) than open globe injuries (25%). Anterior segment was involved in (94.30%) and posterior segment in (8.86%). Work-related ocular injuries formed the commonest mode of injury (41.8%) followed by road traffic accident (30.37%). Conclusion: Ocular trauma is one of the most common causes of unilateral blindness. Targeting groups most at risk with health education, providing effective eye protection and strict implementation of traffic rules may decrease the occurrence of ocular injuries.

ABSTRACT

BACKGROUND Ocular trauma is the major cause for preventable monocular blindness and visual impairment worldwide. It accounts for 8%-14% of total injuries in the pediatric age group. Various studies have shown its higher incidence in this age group. They have different patterns of ocular injuries than adults and have age specific type of injuries. The number of blind years that a child lives with compared to an adult is far more. Most of the previous studies have been on ocular trauma among the adult population, specifically the factory workers in the city of Ludhiana. Moreover, this study aimed to derive a relation between the time of presentation from the injury and the final visual outcome which has rarely been reported in other studies. Profile of ocular trauma in an area is a dynamic and ever changing trend. Therefore, we proposed to study the profile of ocular trauma in pediatric population presenting to our hospital. METHODS A total of 60 patients between the age of 0 to 17 years were included in this study. The study was conducted from 15th December 2020 to 31st May 2022. Complete ocular examination was done at the time of presentation and after management; The best corrected visual acuity was noted at the end of three months. RESULTS Among our study subjects 45% belonged to the age group of 11-17 years. A male predominance (68.3%) was noted. For most of the subjects, the duration between time of injury and time of examination was less than 6 hours. The proportion of closed globe type of injury (80%) was significantly higher as compared to open globe (8.3%) and extraocular type of injury (11.7%). At the 3 month follow up, out of the 53 study subjects, 92.45% had good visual outcome (VO), 3.77% had fair VO and 3.77% had poor VO respectively. CONCLUSIONS Most of the pediatric ocular trauma may be avoided, which emphasizes the value of health education, adult supervision, and the implementation of suitable interventions to lessen the frequency and severity of trauma. Better visual outcome is expected with a shorter duration between time of injury and time of presentation.

ABSTRACT

AIM:To observe the clinical efficacy of vitrectomy at different times for open ocular trauma and explore the timing of stage Ⅱ vitrectomy.METHODS: Retrospective case series study. A total of 60 cases(60 eyes)with open ocular trauma who visited our ophthalmology department from June 2022 to February 2023 were included. They were divided into treatment group A(interval ≤14 d)and treatment group B(interval >14 d)based on the interval between the stage Ⅰ emergency treatment surgery and the stage Ⅱ vitreoretinal surgery. Among the 32 cases(32 eyes)in the treatment group A, 16 eyes(50%)had eyeball rupture, 13 eyes(41%)had penetrating injury, and 3 eyes(9%)had perforating injury. Among the 28 cases(28 eyes)in the treatment group B, 15 eyes(54%)had eyeball rupture, 12 eyes(43%)had penetrating injury, and one eye(4%)had perforating injury. The two groups of patients were followed-up for 6 mo after surgery, and the treatment effects were compared.RESULTS:There was no statistically significant difference in visual acuity between the two groups of patients before vitrectomy(P>0.05). In the treatment group A, 10 eyes(31%)had significantly improved visual acuity, 21 eyes(66%)had effectively enhanced visual acuity, and 1 eye(3%)had no improvement in visual acuity at 6 mo after surgery. Among the 28 eyes in the treatment group B, 5 eyes(18%)had significantly improved vision, 16 eyes(57%)had effectively enhanced vision, and 7 eyes(25%)had no change in vision, with statistically significant difference between the two groups(U=322.5, P=0.032). There was no significant difference between the treatment group A and the treatment group B in complications such as secondary glaucoma, silicone oil dependence, vitreous hemorrhage, and eyeball atrophy(P>0.05). There was no evidence of traumatic proliferative vitreoretinopathy(TPVR)in the treatment group A during postoperative follow-up, which was significantly lower than that of the treatment group B(P<0.05).CONCLUSION:The prognosis of the stage Ⅱ vitrectomy for open ocular injury is relatively good after completing the stage Ⅰ surgery within 2 wk.

ABSTRACT

ABSTRACT Pigment dispersion syndrome is associated with clinical features such as Krukenberg's spindles, trabecular pigmentation, Scheie's stripe and Zentmayer's ring. Another less common feature of this syndrome is retrolental pigment deposits due to anterior hyaloid detachment or a defect in the Wieger's ligament. We present two cases of pigment deposits on the posterior lens capsule. In both cases, there is bilateral dispersion of pigment throughout the anterior segment. The retrolental deposits are unilateral in the first case and bilateral in the second. Both patients report a history of ocular trauma. This is a possible important clinical sign of pigment dispersion syndrome, rarely described.


RESUMO A síndrome de dispersão pigmentar associa-se a sinais clínicos característicos como fuso de Krukenberg, hiperpigmentação da malha trabecular, linha de Scheie e anel de Zentmeyer. Um sinal menos comum dessa síndrome é o depósito de pigmento posterior ao cristalino, que ocorre por um descolamento da hialoide anterior ou um defeito no ligamento de Wieger. Apresentamos dois casos de depósitos de pigmento posterior à cápsula posterior do cristalino. Em ambos os casos, existia dispersão bilateral de pigmento por todo o segmento anterior. No primeiro caso, os depósitos eram unilaterais e, no segundo, estavam presentes em ambos os olhos. Este pode corresponder a um sinal potencialmente importante da síndrome de dispersão pigmentar, raramente descrito.

ABSTRACT

Introducción: En 2016, aproximadamente 55 millones de pacientes en todo el mundo sufrieron lesiones oculares. La carga de sufrimiento tras las lesiones oculares es muy alta, sobre todo por las consecuencias de estas lesiones, que son en gran parte responsables de la ceguera monocular. Objetivo: Sistematizar los referentes teóricos sobre el trauma ocular pediátrico y su impacto en los resultados visuales. Método: Se realizó una revisión sistemática del trauma ocular pediátrico y su impacto en los resultados visuales, basada en la literatura publicada en PubMed, Trip Medical Database y British Medical Journal en el periodo 2018-2022. El nivel de evidencia se evaluó mediante la escala de Oxford y se determinó el sexo, la edad, el tipo de lesión ocular, lugar de ocurrencia del trauma ocular y secuelas postlesión reportadas. Resultados: La evidencia recolectada fue principalmente de estudios retrospectivos de corte transversal que corresponde a nivel de evidencia según escala de Oxford 2b. El trauma ocular fue más común en niños (77 porciento) que en niñas (23 porciento) y la edad promedio fue de 10,5±1,96 años. Hubo mayor incidencia de trauma ocular cerrado (56 porciento). Los lugares fuera del domicilio fueron los más reportados (64 porciento). En lo que refiere a las consecuencias de los traumatismos oculares en edades pediátricas se pudo observar que la mayor frecuencia reportada fue la no presencia de secuelas (52,16 porciento), contra el 48,47 porciento de los repostados con secuelas. Conclusiones: Existen consideraciones básicas que se pueden comunicar al paciente que pueden prevenir efectos graves o permanentes en la visión. El examen oftalmológico profesional permite una evaluación temprana y evita complicaciones por subestimar la lesión ocular aguda.(AU)


Introduction: In 2016, approximately 55 million patients worldwide suffered eye injuries. The burden of suffering after eye injuries is very high, especially due to the consequences of these injuries, which are largely responsible for monocular blindness. Objective: To systematize the theoretical references on pediatric ocular trauma and its impact on visual results. Method: A systematic review of pediatric ocular trauma and its impact on visual outcomes was carried out, based on the literature published in PubMed, Trip Medical Database and British Medical Journal in the period 2018-2022. The level of evidence found was evaluated using the Oxford scale and the sex, age, type of ocular injury, place of occurrence of the ocular trauma and reported post-injury sequelae were determined. Results: The evidence collected was mainly from retrospective cross-sectional studies that correspond to the level of evidence according to the Oxford 2b scale. Ocular trauma was more common in boys (77 percent) than in girls (23 percent) and the average age was 10.5±1.96 years. There was a higher incidence of blunt ocular trauma (56 percent). Places outside the home were the most reported (64 percent). Regarding the consequences of ocular trauma in pediatric ages, it could be observed that the highest frequency reported was the absence of sequelae (52.16 percent), compared to 48.47 percent of those refueled with sequelae. Conclusions: There are basic considerations that can be communicated to the patient that can prevent serious or permanent effects on vision. Professional ophthalmological examination allows early evaluation and avoids complications due to underestimation of acute eye injury.(AU)

ABSTRACT

Objetivo: Determinar las características del trauma ocular en pacientes diagnosticados con catarata traumática. Métodos: Se realizó un estudio observacional descriptivo de corte transversal con 335 pacientes diagnosticados con catarata traumática. Las variables incluyeron edad, sexo, ojo afectado, lugar de ocurrencia del trauma, uso de protección en el entorno laboral, tipo de trauma ocular, daños asociados, morfología de la catarata y zona de lesión. Resultados: La edad promedio de los pacientes fue de 52,2 ± 14,8 años. Se observó un predominio del sexo masculino (75,5 por ciento) y la mayoría de los casos presentaron un trauma ocular cerrado (70,4 por ciento). El ojo derecho fue más afectado (64,8 por ciento). En cuanto al lugar de ocurrencia del traumatismo ocular, el 49,9 por ciento de los casos se produjo en el contexto laboral, y la mayoría de los pacientes que experimentaron un trauma ocular abierto no utilizaban protección ocular. Las lesiones asociadas más comunes fueron el aumento de la presión intraocular, la ruptura de la cápsula y las sinequias, la diálisis del iris. En cuanto a la morfología de las cataratas, se observó que predominaba la opacidad total. Conclusiones: Este estudio subraya la importancia de estrategias preventivas, especialmente en entornos laborales propensos a lesiones oculares. La falta de protección ocular en casos de trauma ocular abierto enfatiza la necesidad de concienciar a la población sobre la importancia de medidas de seguridad adecuadas. Estos hallazgos pueden guiar intervenciones clínicas y políticas de salud pública para reducir la incidencia y las secuelas de la catarata traumática(AU)


Objective: Determine the characteristics of ocular trauma in patients diagnosed with traumatic cataract. Methods: A cross-sectional descriptive observational study was carried out with 335 patients diagnosed with traumatic cataract. The variables included age, sex, affected eye, location of trauma occurrence, use of protection in the work environment, type of ocular trauma, associated damage, cataract morphology and area of injury. Results: The average age of the patients was 52.2 ± 14.8 years. A predominance of males was observed (75.5 percent) and the majority of cases presented blunt ocular trauma (70.4 percent). The right eye was more affected (64.8 percent). Regarding the place of occurrence of ocular trauma, 49.9 percent of cases occurred in the work context, and the majority of patients who experienced open ocular trauma did not use eye protection. The most common associated injuries were increased intraocular pressure, capsule rupture and synechiae, iris dialysis. Regarding the morphology of the cataracts, it was observed that total opacity predominated. Conclusions: This study highlights the importance of preventive strategies, especially in work environments prone to eye injuries. The lack of eye protection in cases of open eye trauma emphasizes the need to raise public awareness about the importance of adequate safety measures. These findings may guide clinical interventions and public health policies to reduce the incidence and sequelae of traumatic cataract(AU)

ABSTRACT

AIM: To explore the value of ocular trauma score(OTS), initial visual acuity, and ocular structural parameters in the assessment of healing visual acuity from ocular trauma.METHOD: A total of 302 cases(302 eyes)of ocular trauma were selected as subjects, which were accepted and issued clear appraisal opinions by the Academy of Forensic Science from June 2015 to June 2021. The subjects were grouped according to the healing best corrected visual acuity(BCVA)from ocular trauma. Group Ⅰ included 63 cases(63 eyes)with BCVA <3.7; Group Ⅱ included 70 cases(70 eyes)with 3.7≤ BCVA <4.5; Group Ⅲ included 78 cases(78 eyes)with 4.5≤ BCVA <4.9; Group Ⅳ included 91 cases(91 eyes)with BCVA≥4.9. In addition, 77 cases(77 healthy eyes)of ocular trauma were selected as the control group, namely Group Ⅴ. The healing BCVA and ocular structural parameters from ocular trauma and theirs correlation were analyzed, and the random forest(RF)and support vector machine(SVM)model of healing visual acuity was established by the IBM SPSS Modeler 18.0.RESULTS: The initial visual acuity, OTS, the grading of corneas, lenses, and fundus, and the thickness of the retinal never fiber layer of ocular trauma patients were correlated with the healing BCVA(P<0.01). There were significant differences in ocular structural parameters among groups, except the central subfield thickness(P<0.001). The SVM model had higher accuracy of predicting healing visual acuity than the RF model, and the accuracy rate was over 80% when the error was within 0.15.CONCLUSION:OTS and ocular structural examination can provide effective information for the clinical forensic medicine appraisal of visual dysfunction after ocular trauma, and they are valuable in discriminating camouflage of visual dysfunction.

ABSTRACT

AIM: To investigate the application value of Worst lacrimal probe combined with modified lacrimal duct intubation in anastomosis of complex canalicular laceration.METHODS: Retrospective study. A total of 68 cases(68 eyes)with complex traumatic canalicular laceration treated in the ophthalmology department of the Second Affiliated Hospital of Zunyi Medical University from March 1, 2019 to March 31, 2021 were selected. They were divided into two groups according to the surgical methods, with 36 patients(36 eyes)who were treated with the Worst lacrimal probe to find the broken end of lacrimal duct combined with improved lacrimal duct threading intubation in group A, and 32 patients(32 eyes)who were treated with microscope to find the broken end of lacrimal duct and two-way intubation anastomosis canaliculus intubation in group B. The clinical efficacy, success rate of intraoperative search for the broken end of lacrimal duct, searching time, operation time, the degree of pain, postoperative ocular foreign body sensation and complications were compared between the two groups.RESULTS: The total effective rate of clinical efficacy in patients of group A was higher than that in group B(94% vs. 38%), the success rate of intraoperative search for broken end of lacrimal duct was higher than that in group B(100% vs. 47%), the searching time and operation time were shorter than those in group B, and the score of pain degree was lower than that in group B(all P<0.05). The postoperative follow-up for 6mo-1a showed that the ocular foreign body sensation score, the incidence of lacrimal punctum rupture and morphological change, and the degree of tear overflow in group A were all lower than those in group B(all P<0.05).CONCLUSION: Worst lacrimal probe combined with modified lacrimal duct intubation for the treatment of complex traumatic canalicular laceration can find the broken end of lacrimal duct more accurately, shorten the operation time, reduce the pain and foreign body sensation of patients, improve clinical efficacy and reduce the incidence of complications.

ABSTRACT

AIM: To observe the clinical effect of foldable capsular vitreous body(FCVB)implantation on ocular trauma and silicone oil-dependent eyes.METHODS: A prospective case study was performed on 17 cases(17 eyes)with ocular trauma and silicone oil-dependent in the First Hospital of Changsha from October 2017 to April 2022. All patients underwent FCVB or silicone oil removal combined with FCVB implantation. The follow-up time was 6mo, and the visual acuity, intraocular pressure, ocular axes, normal external appearances and FVCB were observed at 1wk and 6mo after operation.RESULTS: Only 6 cases had visual acuity before operation, and there were no statistical differences in the visual acuity before and at 1wk and 6mo after operation(P>0.05). The intraocular pressure was low before operation, but it was elevated at 1wk and 6mo after operation. The axial length was unchanged at 1wk and 6mo after operation, and the appearance and structure of eyeball were well maintained, and FCVB was stable with no atrophy during the follow-up period.CONCLUSIONS: FCVB implantation can preserve the appearance of eyeball, and avoid atrophy of eyeball and repeated operation, which has favorable clinical application value in the treatment of ocular trauma and silicone oil-dependent eyes.

ABSTRACT

We reported an 8-year-old boy with panscleritis in left eye and right epididymitis after falling on the ground. Etiologic diagnosis played a key role in this case. Systemic examinations ruled out systemic autoimmune diseases, tumors, and infections as the cause of scleritis and suggested that the disease was caused by a local delayed-type hypersensitivity (DTH) induced by ocular trauma and was non-infectious. Still, the right epididymitis was infectious. Both conditions were treated successfully using steroids and antibiotics, respectively. Thus, early etiologic diagnosis and reasonable treatment are crucial to prevent visual loss.

ABSTRACT

ABSTRACT Purpose: The COVID-19 pandemic began in March 2020 and changed the healthcare system overall. The pandemic led to resource allocation changes, overloading of intensive care units, apprehensiveness of patients to seek medical care not related to COVID-19, and an abrupt reduction in all nonurgent consultations and surgeries. This study evaluated the impact on an ophthalmological emergency room for one year by assessing the correlation between societal lockdown phases and COVID-19 mortality. Methods: An observational, retrospective study was conducted that included all patients admitted to the Ophthalmology Emergency Department between January 1, 2019, and March 28, 2021. The visits were classified into prepandemic and pandemic groups that were then compared. Results: In the prepandemic period, the hospital registered a total of 71,485 visits with a mean of 194.78 ± 49.74 daily visits. In the pandemic group, there was a total of 41,791 visits with a mean of 114.18 ± 43.12 daily visits, which was a 41.4% decrease. A significant decrea­se (16.4 p<0.001) was observed in the prevalence of acute conjunctivitis, and a significant increase (6.4%; p<0.01) was observed in the prevalence of corneal foreign body disorders. A negative correlation was identified between the COVID-19 death rate and the ophthalmological inflow rates. Conclusion: This one-year analysis showed a reduction of 41.4% in emergency department visits and a significant decrease in infectious conditions. A change in hygiene habits and social distancing could explain this reduction, and the increased prevalence of trauma consultations highlighted the need for preventive and educative measures during these types of restrictive periods.


RESUMO Objetivos: A pandemia de COVID-19 foi iniciada em março de 2020 e mudou o sistema de saúde. Mudanças na alocação de recursos, sobrecarga de unidades de terapia intensiva, apreensão dos pacientes em procurar atendimento médico não relacionado ao COVID-19 e redução abrupta de todas as consultas e cirurgias não urgentes. Este estudo avalia o impacto em um pronto-socorro oftalmológico após 1 ano de pandemia, avaliando a correlação entre as fases de lockdown, a mortalidade do COVID-19 e as visitas ao pronto-socorro. Métodos: Estudo observacional retrospectivo que incluiu todos os pacientes admitidos no serviço de emergência oftalmológica do Hospital São Paulo, vinculado a UNIFESP/EPM, entre 1º de janeiro de 2019 e 28 de março de 2021. As visitas foram classificadas e comparadas em um grupo pré-pandemia e pandemia. Resultados: No período pré-pandemia, o hospital registrou um total de 71.485 atendimentos com média de 194,78 ± 49,74 atendimentos diários, e no grupo pandemia, um total de 41.791 com média de 114,18 ± 43,12 atendimentos diários, redução de 41,4%. Uma diminuição significativa de 16,4% (p<0,001) foi observada na prevalência de conjuntivite aguda e um aumento significativo de 6,4% (p<0,01) na prevalência de corpo estranho da córnea. Foi identificada uma correlação negativa entre a taxa de mortalidade do COVID-19 e as taxas de visita ao pronto-socorro. Conclusão: Esta análise de um ano mostrou uma redução de 41,4% nas visitas ao pronto-socorro, e uma diminuição significativa nas conjuntivites agudas. A mudança nos hábitos de higiene e o distanciamento social poderiam explicar essa redução, e o aumento da prevalência de traumas corneanos. Achados destacam a necessidade de medidas preventivas e educativas durante os períodos restritivos.

ABSTRACT

Purpose: To assess vision?related quality of life (VrQoL) in cases with visual loss after ocular trauma (OT) or non?traumatic ocular disease (NTOD) using the National Eye Institute’s 25?Item Visual Function Questionnaire 25 (VFQ?25) and its association with visual disability % (VD%) based on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities (RPwD) Act, 2016. Methods: This was a prospective observational study conducted among cases with ocular morbidity in either or both eyes with a visual acuity of ?6/24. VFQ?25 questionnaire was administered to measure QoL scores. Statistical analysis was done using the Statistical Package for the Social Sciences (SPSS) version 23. P < 0.05 was taken as significant. Results: Eighty-eight respondents completed the questionnaire. Mean age of participants was 40.272 ± 9.35 years (range: 23–55 years). Forty?three (48.9%) and 45 (51.1%) participants had OT and NTOD, respectively. The most common cause was traumatic optic neuropathy (21.6%) followed by corneal causes (19.4%). Low visual QoL scores were reported in all the cases (57.52 ± 16.08). Between OT and NTOD, a significant difference in terms of age (P = 0.001) and general vision (P = 0.03) was seen. Lowest scores were for driving. Based on VD%, 77 cases had ?40 and the rest had >40% VD with a significant difference in overall mean scores (P = 0.03), specifically in domains of general vision (P = 0.00), near activities (P = 0.00), and driving (P = 0.007). QoL was decreased in each subscale of ?40%VD group, who faced the same predicament everywhere as by the cases with more disability. Conclusion: Ocular morbidity is associated with low QoL, predominantly in domains like general vision, near activities and driving. The RPwD Act leaves out a huge population with VD without any government benefits. One might need to consider other vision?related factors also to provide them with social, psychological, and employment benefits.

ABSTRACT

Purpose: To examine the incidence, clinical findings and management of pellet gun–related ocular injuries that occurred during protests in Kashmir region. Methods: This retrospective study included records from 777 patients diagnosed with pellet gun–related ocular injuries admitted to a tertiary hospital in Srinagar, India, between July and November 2016. By reviewing the clinical records, the following data were collected: demographics, clinical information pertaining to the injury, imaging reports including computer tomography and ultrasonography B?scan, management in the emergency setting, and follow?up treatment. Results: Mean age was 22.3 ± 7.2 years and majority patients were male (97.7%). In terms of laterality, 94.3% and 5.7% of the patients sustained monocular and binocular injuries, respectively. In terms of the nature of injury, 76.3% of the eyes had open globe injury while 23.7% of the eyes had closed eye injury. Emergency surgical exploration was performed in 67.7% of closed globe injuries while emergency primary repair was done in 91.1% of open globe injuries. The vast majority of patients (98.7%) who required surgery underwent surgical intervention on the day of admission or the next day. Final best?corrected visual acuity (BCVA) after treatment was counting fingers or worse in 82.4% of the eyes. Conclusion: Pellet gun–related ocular injuries resulted in significant ocular morbidity, mostly manifesting as open globe injuries. Treatment often required surgical interventions, but despite expeditious management, visual prognosis remained poor for most of the patients.

ABSTRACT

Purpose: Herein, we compared the efficacy among the Ocular Trauma Score (OTS), Toddlers Ocular Trauma Score (TOTS), and Pediatric Ocular Trauma Score (POTS) for prognosis prediction in Indian children who had mechanical ocular conditions causing traumatic cataract. Methods: This prospective, interventional study recruited consecutive children undergoing operation for traumatic cataracts caused by mechanical eye injuries at Drashti Netralaya. The following details were obtained from their medical files: the circumstance and time of injuries, penetrating injury type, initial and final visual acuity (VA), time of operation, and associated eye diseases. Specific variables were employed to determine the OTS, TOTS, and POTS. For all patients, the final and predicted VA determined using all scores were compared using Fischer’s exact test. Accuracy, specificity, and sensitivity were evaluated for all the scores by using the area under receiver operating characteristic curve. Results: We enrolled 124 eyes. Patients’ mean value for age was 4.6 ± 1.29 years; 44 (35.41%) and 74 (64.5%) were female and male patients, respectively. Visual outcomes significantly improved after operation, and the outcomes did not differ between closed? and open?globe injuries (P = 0.162). The actual and predicted VA did not exhibit a statistically significant difference among the three scores. TOTS and POTS were more suitable for evaluating low?risk injuries, whereas the OTS could more efficiently examine high?risk cases. Conclusion: TOTS and POTS were more accurate than the OTS in VA prediction after operation in toddlers with traumatic cataracts caused by mechanical globe injury. TOTS and POTS were more suitable for evaluating low?risk injuries, whereas the OTS could more efficiently examine high?risk cases. All the examined scores can be helpful in estimating VA following treatment

ABSTRACT

Purpose: To describe the process development of a multimodal intervention and the pre- and postintervention results on the completeness of case records of patients with penetrating ocular trauma in a high-volume tertiary eye care hospital in south India. Methods: A multimodal intervention including an objective-validated case sheet template, an education program, a physical template case record reminder, a continuous near-real time audit process, and a feedback system was developed. Analysis on the completeness of the case records of patients with ocular trauma from October 2020 to December 2020 (preintervention) and from January 2021 to March 2021 (postintervention) was performed. These case records and the personnel involved in the documentation, were given scores based on the scores assigned to the subsections of the validated template case sheet. The mean total score of the case records and of the personnel involved were analyzed. Results: One hundred and eleven case records of patients with ocular trauma who underwent primary wound repair were included in the study. Of these 111 case records, 46 belonged to preintervention group and 65 belonged to postintervention group. The mean total score for preintervention group during the study period was 57.93 ± 24 out of 100 and for postintervention group was 99.07 ± 4.49 out of 100. The temporal trend of postintervention group showed a consistent improvement every month (97.14, 100,100) during the 3-month study period. Postintervention improvement was noted in all the sections of case records completed by both fellows and consultants. Conclusion: A sustained improvement in ocular trauma case record documentation among all levels of medical professionals was noted following the five-component multimodal intervention

ABSTRACT

Aim: Retrospective study of 74 eyes with open globe injuries requiring V-R Intervention & its correlation with ocular trauma score.Results: Commonest cause of injury: Hammer-chisel/stone in 32.43% (24) & Thorn/wooden stick 27% (20). Average age-30.5yrs. Average interval between trauma & intervention was -10.04days (4hrs – 52days).Discussion: Delay of presentation to ophthalmologist has lot of significance,high incidence of endophthalmitis & retinal detachment compared to other studies. Surgical outcome shows lower incidence of NO Light Perception & Significant reduction in number of cases with </=HM. Patients had better prognosis & visual outcome, higher incidence of 1/200- 20/50; 35.14% cases with >20/200. 60% of our cases had traumatic cataract, visual acuity may be underestimated in traumatic cataract. Faulty Projection of rays probably would be better criteria than RAPD. Extension of wound beyond pars plana, and aniridia (6.7%) are important risk factor.Conclusion: Modification of raw points is recommended in OTS criteria in Indian scenario.

ABSTRACT

Purpose: To investigate the potential relationship between ocular trauma and attention?deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD)?related clinical outcomes in adults. Methods: This prospective case?control study included 108 ocular trauma patients and 90 age?sex?matched healthy control. The ocular trauma group was separated into the subgroups home accident, outdoor activity, and work related in terms of the reasons for ocular trauma, and as ocular surface problems, blunt trauma?related, and open globe injury in terms of the clinical findings. The ADHD?related clinical outcomes were evaluated using the Wender?Utah Rating Scale (WURS). The outcomes were compared between ocular trauma and control groups, and ocular trauma subgroups. Results: The demographic characteristics of ocular trauma groups and controls were similar (P > 0.05, for all). In comparison to the control group, the ocular trauma group had higher total WURS score and WURS subscale scores, but not significantly (P > 0.05, for all). According to comparisons of the subgroups separated by the reasons, there was significant difference in the mean behavioral problems/impulsivity scores in favor of outdoor activities (P = 0.015). On the other hand, the mean scores for WURS subscales of the subgroups separated by the clinical findings were similar (P > 0.05, for all). Conclusion: WURS scores in ocular trauma patients are similar to control; however, the score in behavioral problems/impulsivity subscales is higher for ocular trauma caused by outdoor activities
