Introduction:Ocular trauma is an important and yet preventable cause of visual morbidity especially among population in developing countries. Trauma is a significant cause of monocular blindness. Objective:To determine the pattern of ocular trauma, causative agents and visual outcome among patients presenting to emergency. Material and Methods:A retrospective study was conducted from April 2013-March 2014 on 400 patients with ocular trauma, presented to the emergency trauma centre at MLB medical college, Jhansi. Specially designed protocol was used to record the information based on the demographic data, nature and cause of injury. Informed consent was taken from all the patients. Data obtained were collected and analysed statistically by simple proportions. Results:Most common age group was 21-40 years (192 patients), among the pattern of ocular trauma laceration (62.7%) was found to be most common both in male and female patients, followed by peri-orbital haematoma (22.5%). The main causes were found to be work place injuries (32%) and road traffic accidents (28%). The common visual acuity observed on the affected eye on admission was <6/60-3/60 (43.7%) and <3/60 (27.2%). Conclusion:Public education and awareness program regarding health seeking behaviour for ocular injuries need to be conducted for improved outcome of ocular injuries.
