Abstract

Ocular trauma is common and frequently impairs vision. Injuries to the cornea account for approximately two thirds of ocular trauma. Appropriate detection, diagnosis, triage, and treatment decisions are needed in cases of corneal trauma to achieve maximum benefit for the traumatized patient. In this article, the prominent features of corneal trauma are reviewed, and a practical method of classification is presented to assist in management decisions.
