Ocular Trauma
Assessment and management of eye injuries ranging from minor anterior segment trauma to complex ocular emergencies, with focus on timely intervention, structural preservation, and visual rehabilitation.
Ocular trauma services focus on prompt evaluation, accurate classification of injury, and timely intervention to minimise visual morbidity. Assessment includes detailed examination of the ocular surface, anterior segment, posterior segment, and adnexal structures, with appropriate use of imaging and ancillary investigations when required.
Management is guided by the type and severity of injury and may involve medical stabilisation, surgical repair, or referral for subspecialty intervention. Particular attention is given to identifying occult globe injuries, intraocular foreign bodies, and secondary complications such as infection, inflammation, or pressure-related damage.
Follow-up care is structured to monitor healing, detect delayed sequelae, and support visual rehabilitation. Clear counselling regarding prognosis, treatment stages, and recovery timelines forms an integral part of the service.
