Abstract
Summary and Conclusion
Ocular trauma is a major cause of worldwide visual impairment. It
is the single most important cause of mono-ocular blindness worldwide.
Ocular trauma can occur in any setting including home settings,
recreational and sports-related activities, and workplace and road traffic
accidents. The young individuals are the main victims of trauma and the
effect of it on their career and future life is devastating.
We conducted this Retrospective cross-sectional study to detect the
incidence of angle recession with or without glaucoma after blunt ocular
trauma on 50 eyes of 50 patients using the ultrasound biomicroscopy
(UBM).
All patients included in the study were submitted to detailed history
taking, full ophthalmic examination (best corrected visual acuity testing,
anterior and posterior segment examination using slit lamp
biomicroscopy, Intra-ocular pressure measurement & ultrasound
biomicroscopy (UBM))
The mean value of age was 39.02 ± 11.87, and the majority of
them were males (78%) and right eye was affected in majority of them
(60%). The mean value of IOP was 18.8 ± 5.52 mmHg. The mean grade
of hyphema was 2. And median value of gonioscopy was 3. By ultrasound
biomicroscopy, Angle recession was present in only (20%) of cases and
(10%) developed high IOP >21 mmHg (glaucoma).
Among the cases with angle recession, 50% (5 cases) of them
developed increased IOP, 4 of them when Angle recession >180 and 1
when Angle recession <180.
