We aimed to investigate the clinical aspects and visual prognosis in eye injury and to constitute data in the west Black Sea region in Turkey for national statistics.
A retrospective analysis of 281 eye trauma cases admitted to the Emergency Department of Zonguldak Karaelmas University Hospital between 2005 and 2010 was performed.
A majority of eye injuries (42.7%) affected individuals aged 30 to 50 years. The most frequent cause of injury in the rural areas was wooden objects. The most frequent cause of injury in males aged 30 to 50 years was work-site injuries. Corneal-scleral lacerations were found to be the most serious injuries with regard to initial and final visual acuities.
Eye injuries are still the most common and preventable cause of blindness. Simple precautions and public education might prevent this health problem, which causes economic and labor force loss and psychological problems. One of the basic precautions would be raising public awareness on wearing a seat belt inside the car and protective eyeglasses at the work site and while working in rural areas.
我们旨在调查眼外伤的临床情况及视力预后，并为土耳其黑海西部地区的国家统计提供数据。
对2005年至2010年间宗古尔达克卡拉埃尔马斯大学医院急诊科收治的281例眼外伤病例进行回顾性分析。
大多数眼外伤（42.7%）发生在30至50岁的人群中。农村地区最常见的致伤原因是木质物体。30至50岁男性最常见的致伤原因是工作场所受伤。就初始和最终视力而言，角膜巩膜裂伤被认为是最严重的损伤。
眼外伤仍然是最常见且可预防的失明原因。简单的预防措施和公众教育可能会预防这个导致经济和劳动力损失以及心理问题的健康问题。基本预防措施之一是提高公众对在车内系安全带以及在工作场所和农村工作时佩戴防护眼镜的认识。
