ABSTRACT

A retrospective review was performed in order to know the distribution of ocular trauma according to the standardized classification, and to evaluate its usefulness in the clinical assessment of patients. Method: Ophthalmic consultations from 1996 to 1999 were re-evaluated using the standardized classification, and the presence of the parameters of the classification in the original evaluation was recorded. Results: Three hundred and twenty-four patients were reviewed, 250 with closed-globe trauma and 74 with open-globe. The most common type was closed A (n = 137, 42%), followed by closed C (n = 94, 29%) and open B (n = 42, 13%). The most frequent visual acuity was grade 1 (n = 201, 62%). The most common injury zone was I in closed trauma (n = 186, 74%) and III in open trauma (n = 42, 56.75%). Three hundred and ten (95.6%) consultations only had two parameters of the classification registered. Discussion: Using the standardized classification may make the initial evaluation of the patient with eye trauma easier, for the ophthalmologist as well as for the primary care physician.
