An Evidence-Based Approach To Traumatic Ocular Emergencies (Trauma CME)

May 2010

Abstract

Eye emergencies account for almost 3% of all ED visits in the United States1 and 1.4% of all ED visits involving an injury.2 It is exceedingly likely that the ED clinician will encounter ocular trauma on at least a weekly basis. Patients are often understandably anxious about their vision and the threat of vision loss. A systematic approach to evaluating the injured eye is essential to identify all injuries, to ensure good communications with consultants, and to instill confidence in the patient. This issue of Emergency Medicine Practice provides an up-to-date review of the appropriate evaluation of adults with blunt and penetrating ocular and periorbital injuries and offers evidenced-based management recommendations.
