“…Open wounds of ocular adnexa, OFFs, and ocular/adnexal contusions were the most common forms of injury, while super cial eye injuries, OGIs, and optic pathway/cranial nerve injury were less common. Similar ndings were reported by He, et al in 2022 [5].…”

“…Only a few studies have investigated the demographics associated with MVA-associated ocular trauma, and to our knowledge, no large study has analyzed trends of these traumatic ocular injuries over the last 2 decades [3,[5][6]. This study aims to investigate trends in motor vehicle related ocular injuries sustained by the driver of the vehicle utilizing the National Trauma Databank (NTDB) from 2007 to 2014.…”

Purpose The objective is to investigate trends in cases of motor vehicle accident-associated (MVA-associated) ocular trauma in which the patient was the driver of the motor vehicle. Methods The study utilizes data from the 2007–2014 National Trauma Databank (NTDB), a national trauma registry. Status as the driver of the motor vehicle was identified using E-Codes from the International Classification of Diseases, Ninth Revision, Clinical Modification (ICD-9-CM). Trauma diagnoses were identified using D-Codes from the ICD-9-CM. Statistics were performed using IBM SPSS Version 23. Results We identified 49,660 cases of ocular trauma secondary to an MVA. Men comprised 68.6% (34,057) of cases. Majority of injuries (55.2%) occurred in the 18-40-year age group. Orbital floor fractures (OFFs) were the most commonly observed ocular injury, occurring in 17,647 (35.5%) cases and was highest in the 41-60-year age group (37.4%). There were 2,787 cases of open globe injury (OGI) with the highest proportion of cases in the 81 + age group (7.1%). OGIs were seen in 3.0% of cases with OFFs vs. 7.1% in those without. The mortality rate was 4.3%; the rate was highest in the 81 + age group (13.5%) and lowest in the 18–40 age group (3.3%). Conclusion Men and young adults comprised the majority of cases of MVA-associated ocular trauma. OFFs were seen in approximately one-third of cases of ocular trauma. OGIs were less commonly observed when a concurrent OFF was observed. Though the overall mortality was 4.3%, there was significant variation by age group.

“…The most commonly affected age group is patients aged 21-64 years. Patients over 65 years of age are 16.75 times more likely to be injured by falls [11]. According to the distribution of age groups in our study, sports injuries affect the younger age group, while falls affect the elderly population more.…”

Purpose The aim of this study was to investigate the cause of injury and clinical outcomes in patients with traumatic eyelid injury. Methods Patients aged 18 years and older who underwent eyelid injury repair between January 01, 2021 and March 01, 2023 were included in this study. Results One hundred sixty-four of the patients were male (84.1%) and the mean age was 42.5 ± 5.6 years. The most common etiology of injury was accidents (35.9%). While 9 patients (4.6%) had no additional injury and 11 patients (5.6%) had open globe injury. Conclusion In conclusion, traumatic eyelid injuries can be prevented with a series of precautions. Pre-detection of certain risk factors can prevent potential loss of labor in the productive population. The shape of the eyelids and facial expression are also important for social communication. Therefore, prevention of eyelid trauma can prevent lack of self-confidence in individuals and contribute to social well-being.

“…In China, OGI was most commonly found in people aged 47.8 ± 14.1, with more male patients than female [ 4 , 5 ]. In the elderly, falls are the main cause of open-globe injuries [ 6 , 7 ]. In young people, over one-third of all OGI were found to be work related, and 89.1%, of these patients had not worn adequate eye protection [ 8 ].…”

Open-globe injury is a common cause of blindness clinically caused by blunt trauma, sharp injury, or shock waves, characterised by rupture of the cornea or sclera and exposure of eye contents to the environment. It causes catastrophic damage to the globe, resulting in severe visual impairment and psychological trauma to the patient. Depending on the structure of the globe, the biomechanics causing ocular rupture can vary, and trauma to different parts of the globe can cause varying degrees of eye injury. The weak parts or parts of the eyeball in contact with foreign bodies rupture when biomechanics, such as external force, unit area impact energy, corneoscleral stress, and intraocular pressure exceed a certain value. Studying the biomechanics of open-globe injury and its influencing factors can provide a reference for eye-contact operations and the design of eye-protection devices. This review summarises the biomechanics of open-globe injury and the relevant factors.
