    Abstract

    Background & Methods: The aim of the present study is to study the common causes, visual outcome and prognostic factors of open globe injuries in ocular trauma. After noting down the name, age, sex, occupation and address etc. Precise history was taken with special reference to the time interval between open globe injury and first treatment, onset of symptoms(sudden or delayed), course of events and treatment first received. Relevant past history of ocular disease or trauma was also noted. Results: Significance of grade of injury as a prognostic factor (chi-sq. = 7.723) (P = 0.001). Significance of length of wound as a prognostic factor (Pearson's chi-square = 1.233) (P = 0.048), we found, maximum 53.3% in Anterior 5 mm from the limbus followed by Confined to cornea and limbus. We found, maximum injuries in 22% with pen, followed by 19% Needle & 18% Glass.
