| Summary: |
Standardized classification of ocular trauma - Birmingham
Eye Trauma Terminology (BETT), could be eventually the international language of
mechanical injuries of the eye. This system of classification provides unambiguous
definitions for eye trauma within a framework of a comprehensive system. It uses entire
globe as the tissue of reference, and classifies both open- and closed-globe injuries
according to four seperate variables: Type of injury, based on the mechanism of injury;
grade of injury, defined by visual acuity in the injured eye at initial examination;
pupil, defined as the presence or absence of a relative afferent pupillary defect and zone
of injury, defined by the location of the eye-wall opening. |

| Key words: |
Birmingham Eye Trauma Terminology, BETT, standardized
classification of ocular trauma, open-globe injuries, closed-globe injuries, rupture,
lamelar laceration, laceration, intraocular foreign body. |
