| Summary: |
The aim of this study was
the statistical and epidemiological analysis of patients
with eye injuries. We analyzed all patients attending
the emergency department of Department of Ophthalmology
Medical University in Gdansk over the period of
1992-1993 and 2002-2003 years. We determined the visual
function (isual acuity- distance and near Snellen acuity
test, intraocular pressure measurement, biomicroscopy,
ophthalmoscopy, X- ray examination and US -examination)
in two groups of subjects. The 6427 patients were
subjected in the first period (37% with eye injuries).
In the second period we examined 10512 patients (44%
with eye injuries). A total of visits have been examined
in the firs period: 24.1% of patients were between 19-25
and 48% between 26-50 years. In the second group of
patients 35.7% of patients were between 19-25 and 30.3%
were between 26-50 years. In the both periods we
observed mainly corneal injuries. Corneal foreign body
and corneal abrasion were the most common etiology among
close eye injuries in both groups. A total of visits
have been examined: 7.78% with the first group and 8.95%
was with burns. There were 1.89% in the first and 5.75%
in the second period of severe eye injury such as
penetrating ocular trauma, orbital fracture and
intraocular foreign body. The main causative activity of
ocular injuries in both groups was work (5.80% group I
and 23.80% group II), assault (36.20% group I and 47.75%
group II) and traffic accidents (4.84% group I and
12.05% group II). Results of our work indicated that
ocular trauma is a common cause of improvement of visual
acuity and a common cause of visit to the Emergency
Department of Department of Ophthalmology. |
