Eye trauma is among the most common reasons for referral to hospital emergency departments and ophthalmologists' offices. It also is a common cause of vision loss worldwide. However, few studies are available on the changes in the epidemiology of eye trauma in Iran in recent years.
This study aimed to investigate the characteristics of hospital admissions for eye trauma in Kashan from August 2011 to February 2014.
A cross-sectional study was carried out on the hospital records of all patients with eye trauma who were admitted to Kashan's Matini hospital between August 2011 and February 2014. Having an eye trauma and being hospitalized for at least one day was selected as the criteria for inclusion in the study. The data were then recorded on a checklist devised by the researcher. After entering the data into the SPSS software, descriptive statistics (i.e., percentage, frequency, mean, and standard deviation) were calculated for all variables. Chi-square, Fisher's exact test, and Mann-Whitney U test were used to analyze the data.
In total, 200 patients with eye trauma had been hospitalized in Matini Hospital between August 2011 and February 2014. Of these patients, 86% were males, 40% were in the age range of 20-39 years, 68% lived in urban areas, and 21% of those in employment were manual and industrial workers. Approximately 38.5% of eye traumas had occurred in the work place; 72.5% of patients had penetrating injuries and 98% of cases were injured in one eye. More injuries occurred in the cornea (25.5%) than elsewhere in the eye, and 75.5% of patients were treated surgically. Among all variables, only the type of trauma (P = 0.009) and cause of trauma (P = 0.004) were significantly related to the patients' gender.
Eye trauma was prevalent among males, young people, urban residents, and manual and industrial workers. As the eyes play a vital role in daily life, communication, and work activities, and eye health is so important for individuals to attain high educational status and productivity, the public should be thoroughly educated about eye protection and the use of safety measures, especially in occupational activities.
眼外伤是转诊至医院急诊科和眼科医生办公室的最常见原因之一。它也是全球视力丧失的常见原因。然而，近年来关于伊朗眼外伤流行病学变化的研究较少。
本研究旨在调查2011年8月至2014年2月期间卡尚市眼外伤住院患者的特征。
对2011年8月至2014年2月期间入住卡尚马蒂尼医院的所有眼外伤患者的医院记录进行横断面研究。将有眼外伤且住院至少一天作为纳入研究的标准。然后将数据记录在研究人员设计的检查表上。将数据输入SPSS软件后，对所有变量计算描述性统计量（即百分比、频率、均值和标准差）。使用卡方检验、费舍尔精确检验和曼-惠特尼U检验分析数据。
2011年8月至2014年2月期间，共有200例眼外伤患者入住马蒂尼医院。在这些患者中，86%为男性，40%年龄在20 - 39岁之间，68%居住在城市地区，就业人员中有21%是体力劳动者和产业工人。约38.5%的眼外伤发生在工作场所；72.5%的患者有穿透伤，98%的病例为单眼受伤。角膜受伤（25.5%）比眼部其他部位更多见，75.5%的患者接受了手术治疗。在所有变量中，只有外伤类型（P = 0.009）和外伤原因（P = 0.004）与患者性别显著相关。
眼外伤在男性、年轻人、城市居民以及体力劳动者和产业工人中普遍存在。由于眼睛在日常生活、交流和工作活动中起着至关重要的作用，并且眼睛健康对于个人获得高教育水平和生产力非常重要，因此应该对公众进行全面的眼保护和安全措施使用方面的教育，尤其是在职业活动中。
