“…The median cost of treatment of in-patient open globe injuries were approximately 40,000 Thai Baht, which is significantly low compared to approximately 3,350 EUR by Pinna et al [6]. Fifty-seven percent were work-related but about half of the injuries were paid by Universal Coverage Scheme (UCS) instead of the Workmen's Compensation Fund (WCF), which is intended to be the main health provider for labourers.…”

Patients were interviewed at first visit and followed-up for six months. The Birmingham Eye Trauma Terminology was used to classify types of injuries. Demographic data, cost of treatment, length of stay, and predictive factors (initial visual acuity, presence of relative afferent pupillary defect, hyphema, vitreous hemorrhage, intraocular foreign bodies, retinal detachment, time-duration to surgery, and wound length) were assessed. Results: Fifty-two out of 60 eyes were included. Most (82.7%) of patients were men and average age was 34.1 years (range: 8-68 years). About half (51.9%) graduated from primary school and 65.3% were labourers. Most patients had not used protective devices. The endophthalmitis rate was 13.5%, and panophthalmitis rate was 5.8%. The enucleation rate was 9.6%. The median length of stay was nine days. Poor initial visual acuity and intraocular foreign bodies were significant predictive factors of poor visual outcome (p <0.05). Conclusion: Open globe injuries caused visual morbidity especially in young adult male, laborers with low education. Initial visual acuity and intraocular foreign bodies were significant predictive factors of poor visual outcome.

“…This small increase might be connected to the decrease in trauma eyes requiring enucleation acutely, most likely due to more advanced vitreoretinal surgical techniques dealing with severe trauma as the incidence of severe trauma to eyes, at least open globe injuries, are not declining (Pinna et al 2007).…”

ABSTRACT.Purpose: To determine the incidence rate as well as causative diagnoses and surgi- done, and the three exenterations performed were not included in the study. The mean annual age-adjusted incidence rate of enucleation in Iceland was 1.48 enucleations per 100 000 population in comparison with 2.66 enucleations per 100 000 for the time period 1964-1991. With advancing age, a significant increasing linear trend existed (p < 0.001). The median age at enucleation was 51 years (SD 22; mean 55 years; 16-91 years). The three most common surgical indications for enucleation were blind painful eye, suspected ocular malignancy and acute trauma. The most common causative diagnosis for enucleation was traumatic lesion (39%). The annual incidence was 2.00 enucleations per 100 000 for men and 0.95 for women. There were significantly more men in the traumatic lesion group (p < 0.001), but no gender predominance was found in the other groups of causative diagnoses (p = 0.8). Conclusion: The overall mean annual incidence of enucleation in Iceland is continually decreasing, although the incidence of severe ocular trauma and ocular malignancy is fairly stable.

“…Une des explications majeure était l'absence de consensus autour de la terminologie appropriée, problème aujourd'hui résolu depuis la rédaction de la classification BETT. L'incidence annuelle des plaies du globe dans les pays développés est estimée à 3,5 pour 100 000 habitants [1,9,10]. Les plaies et contusions oculaires concernent majoritairement les jeunes adultes de sexe masculin [1,11].…”

“…L'âge moyen de survenue est de 36 ans chez l'homme et de 73 ans chez la femme [12]. L'âge d'occurrence est en réalité bimodal avec deux pics de fréquence : un autour de 20-24 ans et un autre vers 50-59 ans [1,9]. Chez les enfants, les plaies du globe sont moins fréquentes.…”
