A ruptured globe occurs when rapid intraocular pressure elevation secondary to blunt trauma results in eyewall failure. [3] The rupture site may be at the point of impact but more commonly occurs at the weakest and thinnest areas of the sclera. [4] Regions prone to rupture are the rectus muscle insertion points, optic nerve insertion point ...
Eye injury by impact of small plastic body. Based on the injury to the eyewall (outer fibrous coat of the eye consisting of cornea and sclera) Closed globe injury: the eye globe is intact, but the seven rings of the eye have been classically described as affected by blunt trauma. Types include contusion and lamellar laceration
floaters, photophobia. Complications. uveitis, blindness. Sympathetic ophthalmia (SO), also called spared eye injury, is a diffuse granulomatous inflammation of the uveal layer of both eyes following trauma to one eye. It can leave the affected person completely blind. Symptoms may develop from days to several years after a penetrating eye injury.
In cases of sympathetic ophthalmia (inflammation of the eye) to prevent travel to the other eye, which, if untreated, can cause blindness; Constant infection in a blind or otherwise useless eye; Painful, blind eye; Severe injury of the eye when the eye cannot be saved or attempts to save the eye have failed, such as after a globe rupture
Specialty. Ophthalmology. Intraocular hemorrhage (sometimes called hemophthalmos or hemophthalmia) is bleeding inside the eye (oculus in Latin). Bleeding can occur from any structure of the eye where there is vasculature or blood flow, including the anterior chamber, vitreous cavity, retina, choroid, suprachoroidal space, or optic disc.
Blast-related ocular trauma comprises a specialized subgroup blast injuries which cause penetrating and blunt force injuries to the eye and its structure. The incidence of ocular trauma due to blast forces has increased dramatically with the introduction of new explosives technology into modern warfare. The availability of these volatile ...
Iatrogenic globe injury, bleeding, infection [ edit on Wikidata ] Canthotomy (also called lateral canthotomy and canthotomy with cantholysis ) is a surgical procedure where the lateral canthus , or corner, of the eye is cut to relieve the fluid pressure inside or behind the eye, known as intraocular pressure (IOC).

Seidel test. The Seidel test is used to assess the presence of aqueous humor leakage from anterior chamber of the eye. [1] Leakage may occur due to many corneal or scleral disorders, including corneal post-trauma, post-surgical leak, corneal perforation and corneal degeneration. [1] Initially the test was used to detect aqueous humor leakage in ...
