Visual outcome in Mechanical Ocular Trauma

Shilpi Aggarwal, Sapan Phalod

Abstract :

Aim– Ocular trauma has many challenges. This study evaluates visual outcome and probable predictors of visual prognosis. Material and method– A retrospective study of 43 cases underwent meticulous evaluation for etiology, type of trauma, associated ocular co–morbidities, surgical intervention, and final visual outcome. Cases were grouped as per BETTS classification and managed accordingly with follow up of 6 months. Probable predictors for visual prognosis were assessed and compare with final visual outcome. Result: Open globe injury was observed more than closed globe. In mode of injury iron rod and wooden chip were most common. Corneal tear was commonest associated co–morbidity and played an essential role in final visual outcome. Conclusion: Categorizing cases as per associated co–morbidity and managing them according to BETT’S played a key role in knowing probable predictors pre–operatively, which helped in assessing visual gain and explain realistic expectation to the patient .
