To characterize injuries caused by exercise resistance bands.
Single-site retrospective case series of patients presenting to the Bascom Palmer Eye Institute emergency room with ocular injuries secondary to exercise resistance bands from March through September 2020.
Eleven patients (9 males, 2 females, 14 eyes) were reviewed. Eight patients had a unilateral injury (3 right eyes, 5 left eyes) while 3 had bilateral injuries. Iritis was the most common presentation, seen in all 11 patients, followed by hyphema (9 patients, 82%), and vitreous hemorrhage (4 patients, 36%). Among affected eyes, the mean presenting visual acuity was approximately 20/100, improving to 20/40 on the last follow up (p = 0.06). However, 4 eyes (33%) had vision ≤20/60 at last follow up.
Exercise resistance bands can cause a wide spectrum of ocular injuries, some leading to long-term vision loss. As such, we recommend that patients strongly consider using eye protection goggles or glasses while using resistance bands for exercise.
描述运动阻力带引起的眼部损伤。
回顾性单站点病例系列研究，纳入 2020 年 3 月至 9 月期间因运动阻力带导致眼部损伤而到 Bascom Palmer 眼研究所急诊就诊的患者。
共纳入 11 名患者（9 名男性，2 名女性，14 只眼）。8 名患者为单侧损伤（3 只右眼，5 只左眼），3 名患者为双侧损伤。11 名患者均表现为虹膜炎，其次为前房积血（9 名患者，82%）和玻璃体积血（4 名患者，36%）。在受累眼中，平均就诊时视力约为 20/100，末次随访时提高至 20/40（p=0.06）。然而，4 只眼（33%）末次随访时视力≤20/60。
运动阻力带可引起广泛的眼部损伤，一些损伤可导致长期视力丧失。因此，我们建议患者在使用阻力带进行运动时强烈考虑使用眼部防护镜或眼镜。
