Ocular trauma refers to any injury to the eye or its surrounding structures caused by accidents, physical impact, chemical exposure, or foreign bodies. Such injuries can range from minor corneal abrasions to severe globe ruptures that threaten vision. Prompt diagnosis and treatment are essential to prevent complications like infection, scarring, or permanent vision loss. Management depends on the type and severity of trauma and may include medical treatment, surgical repair, or vision rehabilitation. Preventive measures, such as wearing protective eyewear during high-risk activities, play a crucial role in avoiding ocular injuries.
