| Summary: |
Purpose: To
evaluate chosen epidemiological factors in perforating
eye injuries in own material
Material and method: Retrospective case review
over period from 2001 to 2003 hospitalised in the
Department of Ophthalmology in Bydgoszcz. The group
studied comprised 78 patients (79 eyes) aged from 4 to
77 years. Analized were following data: age, gender, the
extend of the injury, visual acuity at presentation, the
presence of – and intraocular foreign body nature, type
of injury, professional activity, and other factors (alcohol
use, glasses).
Results: The group studied involved 89.7 % men.
Mean age of all the patients was 35.6 years (SD=17.1),
male: 35 years (D=17.0), female: 41 (SD=18.5). Severe
wounds, including corneal and scleral laceration totaled
32.9%. In 41.8% cases initial visual acuity was less
than 0.001, including 42.4% of light perception. There
was no light perception in 18.2% in this group.
Intraocular foreign bodies were found in 39.2% of
studied eyes (75.8% involved ferromagnet metal).
Domestic activities accounted for 50% of injuries, and
33.3% occurred at worksite. In the group studied there
were 28.2% of unimployed, the pensioners were affected
in 9%.
Conclusions: Most of the penetrating eye injuries
affected young males aged mean 35 and happened at home.
Almost one half of the patients experienced severe
injuries leading to severe visual loss. Ferromagnet
metal predominated intraocular foreign bodies. |
