Abstract

AIM–To compare the outcome in patients of ocular trauma with that predicted by the OTS

DESIGN–Tertiary hospital based prospective study

METHOD–Study comprised of 57pts(63 eyes)with ocular trauma between AUG’18 to AUG’19.Raw scores were allotted based on initial visual acuity,globe rupture,endophthalmitis,perforating injury,RD & RAPD.Visual outcomes were assessed at 6 months following appropriate management & outcomes were compared with the predicted OTS outcomes

RESULT-78% were male patients and 22% female,mean age being 34.According to Birmingham eye trauma classification 33% were open globe injuries and 67% were closed globe injuries.Most common cause of ocular trauma being RTA(87%) followed by mechanical injuries and injury by assault.Visual outcomes in our patients at 6 months follow up showed strong correlation with the predicted visual outcome by international OTS.

CONCLUSION–The use of OTS can prove very vital in counselling patients regarding the prognosis of ocular trauma
