A retrospective review of patients visits to two urban emergency departments was undertaken to ascertain the impact of commercial tanning facilities (CTFs) on the incidence of corneal burns. Ocular injury and/or infection represented 1.9% of the total patient census, with corneal burns being 7.6% of the eye pathology. Prior to the opening of a number of CTFs, corneal burns had three causes in the two emergency departments reported here: ultraviolet (UV) keratitis from electric arc welders, (32.5%) chemical or physical agents (28%), and UV keratitis from home sunlamps or reflected sunlight while sunbathing or boating (10.5%). Within a single year, UV keratitis from CTFs became the second most common source of corneal burns, injuring 29% of all patients. While most corneal burns resolved with symptomatic treatment, an additional two patients received retinal burns from the CTFs. Both patients were left with permanent visual deficits. Treatment and aspects of UV ocular injury are discussed.
对两家城市急诊科的患者就诊情况进行了回顾性研究,以确定商业晒黑设施(CTF)对角膜烧伤发病率的影响。眼外伤和/或感染占总患者人数的1.9%,角膜烧伤占眼部病理的7.6%。在一些CTF开业之前,在此报告的两家急诊科中,角膜烧伤有三个原因:电弧焊工引起的紫外线(UV)角膜炎(32.5%)、化学或物理因素(28%)以及在家用太阳灯照射下或日光浴或划船时反射阳光引起的UV角膜炎(10.5%)。在短短一年内,CTF引起的UV角膜炎成为角膜烧伤的第二大常见原因,占所有患者的29%。虽然大多数角膜烧伤通过对症治疗得以缓解,但另有两名患者因CTF导致视网膜烧伤。两名患者均留下永久性视力缺陷。本文讨论了UV眼外伤的治疗及相关方面。
