| Summary: |
Purpose:
Epidemiological estimation of penetrating eye injuries
treated at the I-st Eye Hospital Medical Academy in
Lublin in 1994 – 2002.
Material and methods: Distribution by age, sex,
season, causes of the trauma, visual acuity were
estimated. There were treated 182 patients (184 eyes).
Results: Out of the 182 patients the majority 145
were men and 37 women. The age distribution: 0 – 15
years (39 patients), 16 – 25 years (23 patients), 26 –
35 years (37 patients), 36 – 45 years (27 patients), 46
– 55 years (17 patients), 56 – 65 years (25 patients),
over 65 years (14 patients). Mean age – 33,8 years (1
year to 80 years).
The distribution of penetrating eye injuries was as
follows: in 1994 – 19 cases, 1995 – 31 cases, 1996 – 20
cases, 1997 – 17 cases, 1998 – 17 cases, 1999 – 16 cases,
2000 – 18 cases, 2001 – 18 cases, 2002 – 25 cases of
ocular trauma. In 75 cases we noted the connection with
occupation, and in 107 cases there were no such
correlation. Final visual acuity was less than 0,1 in 72
patients (39,1%), 0,1- 0,3 in 34 patients (16,5%) and
over 0,3 in 78 patients (42,4%).
Conclusions: Penetrating eye injuries are still
severe therapeutical problem and cause of 40% loss of
useful visual acuity among treated patients. During 9
years of this study the decreasing of number of
penetrating injuries was not observed, which showing
again a problem of the prevention. |
