VISUAL OUTCOME AND PROGNOSTIC FACTORS IN MECHANICAL INJURY OF ANTERIOR SEGMENT OF EYE

Abstract

Trauma can result in wide spectrum of eye injury of the globe, optic nerve and adnexa ranging 
from superficial to vision threatening complication Timely intervention and surgical repair of 
anterior segment injury and subsequent visual rehabilitation with long term impact is a topic of 
great significance and challenges to the practicing ophthalmologists. Even though with the 
advent of new modalities and improved technology, the management of penetrating ocular 
injuries has changed. We need to prognosticate any patient with ocular trauma before and even 
after the repair of ocular injury.
