Abstract

Purpose: To investigate the current ocular status of Iranian veterans with a past history of penetrating eye injury 17-25 years ago.Materials &Methods: In this descriptive study 800 veterans (1010 eyes), with history of penetrating ocular injuries were examined 17-25 years following the trauma sustained during the Iran and Iraq war. Age, gender, injured eye, involved ocular components, number of injuries, surgeries performed, and final VISUAL ACUITY were recorded.Comprehensive eye examinations were performed by an ophthalmologist.Results: Of 800 subjects 99% were male, 1% female, 77.9% were in the age range of less than thirty, 92.7% in the age range of less than forty. The left eye was involved in 39.4%, the right eye in 34.4%, and both eyes in 26.2%. The cornea was involved most commonly in 23.4% of the cases and optic nerve the least in 1%.The injuries were divided into 11 categories and in total 1586 injuries existed. A total of 2149 ocular surgeries were performed; an average of 2.7 surgeries per veteran with a minimum of none to maximum of twelve surgeries.The results showed 45.1% obtained modest improvement and 33.5% were enucleated. In terms of VISUAL ACUITY 49.7% were blind, 36.6% had higher than 0.1 and 11.7% had lower than 0.1 and 5.1% had 1.0.Conclusion: Ocular penetrating injuries can lead to devastating visual outcomes such as blindness and enucleation. Prompt management of these injuries with adequately trained surgeons can lead to better outcomes. As a preventative measure the use of eye protection is highly recommended.
