“…The results of the studies regarding which eye is more commonly affected in OGIs suggests that pediatric OGI affects both eyes at similar rates (1,7,8,12,13). In our study, we showed only a slight difference between the right and left eyes.…”

“…There was no statistically significant difference in mean age between girls and boys. In the literature, it was reported that boys were more susceptible to OGI than girls (1). The ratio of boys to girls with OGI ranges from 1.66:1 to 5.25:1.…”

“…Despite the many important developments in ophthalmic surgery, the complete visual recovery after an OGI is almost impossible and OGIs often cause permanent visual loss. In underdeveloped and developing countries, the incidence of OGI in children is higher (1,2).…”

Aim:To evaluate retrospectively the epidemiologic data and outcomes of pediatric open globe injury (OGI). Materials and Methods:The medical records of all pediatric cases (<16 years old) diagnosed with OGI in İzmir Katip Çelebi University Atatürk Teaching and Research Hospital, Clinic of Ophthalmology between January 2009 and December 2018 were screened. Age, sex, history, cause of trauma, treatment received, visual acuity (VA) at presentation, and final VA were recorded.Results: A total of 48 patients were included in this study. The mean age at the time of injury was 10.72±4.74 years, ranging from 1 to 16 years. Game-related accidents were the most common cause of all pediatric OGI patients with a frequency of 58.3% (n=28). Of the OGIs 56.3% (n=27) were in zone I, followed by zone II (39.5%; n=19), and zone III (4.2%; n=2). Patients with vitreous hemorrhage or retinal detachment at admission were found to have a higher risk of poor prognosis. The principal predictor for a good visual outcome was found to be initial bestcorrected VA over 20/200. Conclusion:To predict the prognosis in the best way, every patient with OGI should be carefully evaluated both at the time of admission and during the follow-up period.

“…Among the different age groups of children with traumatic cataract, the majority of ocular injuries occurred at 2–8 years of age, accounting for almost two-thirds of all children recruited in our study. This is in line with the findings of Batur et al ., who found that open globe injury in Turkish children occurred most frequently in the 3–7 year age group 13 . This is possibly because children of this age are able to walk independently, and their guardians are not always close by, resulting in insufficient supervision.…”

Traumatic cataract is a main cause of visual impairment in pediatric populations and is preventable. Awareness of the causes and consequences of pediatric eye trauma play roles in health education and prevention of blindness. We conducted a retrospective chart review based on 5-year clinical data of pediatric traumatic cataract cases treated at the Eye and Ear, Nose and Throat Hospital of Fudan University, Shanghai, China. Clinical features including demographic data, injury mechanism, and causative agents were analyzed. A total of 321 eyes of 321 children (male, 74.1%) were included. Penetrating injury accounted for 76.6% of all injuries; 65% of children with such injuries underwent their first surgery on the day of injury. The average age at injury was 6.3 ± 3.7 years, while the peak age was from two to eight years. The main causes of ocular injury were sharp metal objects, toys, and wooden sticks. The causative agent changed with increasing age; however, scissors were the leading cause within almost all age groups. Cataract surgery significantly improved visual acuity in children with traumatic cataract. These findings add information regarding the characterization of pediatric traumatic cataract in China and can help guide safety education and preventative measures.
