Ocular trauma is an important cause of unilateral visual impairment worldwide. According to Nepal blindness survey (Brillinat et al, 1985), it accounted for 2.4% of blindness, and in another community based study (Upadhyay M et al, 2001), the prevalence of ocular trauma was observed to be 0.7%. The Bhaktapur Eye Study confirms that "corneal trauma leading to ulceration" is the second most common cause of blindness after cataract in Nepal.
眼外伤是全球单侧视力损害的一个重要原因。根据尼泊尔失明调查(布里利纳特等人,1985年),它占失明原因的2.4%,而在另一项基于社区的研究(乌帕德亚伊M等人,2001年)中,观察到眼外伤的患病率为0.7%。巴克塔普尔眼病研究证实,“导致溃疡的角膜外伤”是尼泊尔仅次于白内障的第二大常见失明原因。
