Open wounds of the eye are the most common ocular injuries in children in Tajikistan. Assessment of visual functions in the outcome of such wounds is the most important task for developing a rehabilitation plan and predicting the prospects for the recovery of vision, especially in young patients. To assess visual acuity (VA) in the outcome of a penetrating wound of the eyeball in children. The study retrospectively analyzed VA in the outcome of type B open trauma of scleral (12.1%), corneal (59.1%), and scleral-corneal (28.8%) localization in 132 children (132 eyes) older than 4 years (mean age 8.3 years), who were admitted to the hospital on the first day after injury. The exclusion criteria from the main selection were: the presence of an intraocular foreign body, the age of patient higher than 4 years old, and the time of admission more than 24 hours post the moment of injury. Visual acuity was checked at the time of discharge from the hospital (average stay was 19.02 days) and amounted to 0-light projection in 50 (37.9%) children; 0.01-0.1 in 43 (32.6%); 0.2-0.3 in 29 (22.0%); above 0.4 in 10 (7.6%). High rate of vascular reactions to trauma was noted on admission on the first day - intraocular hemorrhage (28.8%), hyphema (10.6%), endophthalmitis (5.3%) as a result of a penetrating injury to the eyeball - as well as their negative effect on vision at discharge. Upon discharge from the hospital, in 92.4% of children the visual acuity in the outcome was 0.3 and below. Adverse visual outcomes significantly correlated with the depth of the injury (correlation coefficient 0.5931) and vascular reactions to trauma (correlation coefficient 0.503333).

D012189 Retrospective Studies Studies used to test etiologic hypotheses in which inferences about an exposure to putative causal factors are derived from data relating to characteristics of persons under study or to events or experiences in their past. The essential feature is that some of the persons under study have the disease or outcome of interest and their characteristics are compared with those of unaffected persons. Retrospective Study,Studies, Retrospective,Study, Retrospective
D014792 Visual Acuity Clarity or sharpness of OCULAR VISION or the ability of the eye to see fine details. Visual acuity depends on the functions of RETINA, neuronal transmission, and the interpretative ability of the brain. Normal visual acuity is expressed as 20/20 indicating that one can see at 20 feet what should normally be seen at that distance. Visual acuity can also be influenced by brightness, color, and contrast. Acuities, Visual,Acuity, Visual,Visual Acuities
