Symptoms of an open-globe injury include eye pain, foreign body sensation, eye redness, and blurry or double vision. [9] While globe injuries are commonly associated with peri-ocular trauma that may obstruct diagnosis, [4] several signs suggest open-globe damage: Visible corneal or scleral laceration; Sub-conjunctival hemorrhage; Protruding ...
Such injuries are often referred to as a Globe fracture or a Globe rupture, although these can be incurred by blunt trauma as well. 2) Perforating trauma: the globe integrity is disrupted in two places due to an entrance and exit wound (through and through injury). This is a quite severe type of eye injury. Other types include
Anterior lens luxation in a dog Anterior lens luxation with cataract formation in a cat. Ectopia lentis is a displacement or malposition of the eye's lens from its normal location. A partial dislocation of a lens is termed lens subluxation or subluxated lens; a complete dislocation of a lens is termed lens luxation or luxated lens
Intraocular hemorrhage may be caused by physical trauma (direct injury to the eye); ocular surgery (such as to repair cataracts); or other diseases, injuries, or disorders (such as diabetes, hypertension, or shaken baby syndrome). [2] Severe bleeding may cause high pressure inside the eye, leading to 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. It typically results from a delayed hypersensitivity ...
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
The prognosis for penetrating head injuries varies widely. [11] Penetrating facial trauma can pose a risk to the airway and breathing; airway obstruction can occur later due to swelling or bleeding. [12] Penetrating eye trauma can cause the globe of the eye to rupture or vitreous humor to leak from it, and presents a serious threat to eyesight ...
The eye is divided into a small front (anterior) segment, in front of the lens, and a large rear (posterior) segment, behind the lens. The anterior chamber is the light gray area at the top of this illustration. Hyphemas are frequently caused by injury, and may partially or completely block vision.
