Abstract

Our purpose to review the manuscripts worldwide and evaluate
the prognostic factors that effect end visual acuity in different injury groups.
Studies about ocular injuries of the children, worker, driver, and army
personal were investigated. Injuries of those groups are more frequent in our
region than some other regions. Prognostic factors of those studies were
compared with each other. Globally prevention is critical and open glob injury is bad prognostic
factor, evaluation of visual acuity of the paediatric patients is important. Work
related injuries and combat injuries mostly happen in productive young-aged and
those have impact as global burden. Ocular traumas secondary to motor vehicle
accident can cause central blindness secondary to optic neuropathy or intracranial
pathology.
