To describe the prevalence and outcome of motor vehicle accidents-associated ocular injuries.
A survey of patients who presented to the emergency room at a level 1 trauma center with motor vehicle accidents-associated ocular injuries. A patient questionnaire and review of clinical notes were conducted for all patients.
Of 274 motor vehicle accident victims with ocular injuries who presented to the emergency room, 40 (15%) responded to the survey. Over half of them were driving a vehicle, and most reported wearing a seat belt or a helmet. Most ocular injuries were mild. The most common injuries were bone fractures, subconjunctival hemorrhage, eyelid involvement and corneal injury. Most respondents had no change in vision and perceived their ocular involvement as a minor part of their injury. Most respondents returned to work and to driving within a year.
Our study sheds light on the details and extent of ocular involvement and the visual ability to perform daily activities following motor vehicle accidents.
描述与机动车事故相关的眼部损伤的发生率和结局。
对在一级创伤中心因机动车事故而就诊于急诊室的患者进行调查。对所有患者进行问卷调查和临床记录回顾。
在 274 名因机动车事故而就诊于急诊室的眼部损伤患者中,有 40 名(15%)对调查做出了回应。他们中的一半以上是驾驶员,大多数人表示系了安全带或戴了头盔。大多数眼部损伤为轻度。最常见的损伤是骨折、球结膜下出血、眼睑受累和角膜损伤。大多数受访者的视力没有变化,认为他们的眼部损伤是他们受伤的一小部分。大多数受访者在一年内恢复工作和驾驶。
我们的研究揭示了机动车事故后眼部受累的细节和程度,以及进行日常活动的视觉能力。
