They registered age, sex, origin, occupation, mechanism and circumstance, Causal object, initial visual acuity and immediate treatment. Ocular traumatisms were classified according to the BETT classification system (Birmingham eye trauma terminology). Results: The age group with the highest number of cases was 21 to 30 years (28 %). As for sex, male sex predominates with 82 %. The 45% belonged to the Capital District. The most frequent occupation was student with 31 %. Physical aggression 31% was the most common cause of eye injury. Closed eye trauma was reported in 10 % patients and open eye trauma in 90 % patients. The most frequent ocular lesion was uveal prolapse in 58 % patients. Medical treatment was indicated in 4% cases and surgical resolution was required in 96 % patients. Conclusion: Open eye trauma is more frequent in the male population of productive age, producing lesions that are often incapacitating and affecting the individual's overall development. |
