Purpose: Herein, we compared the efficacy among the Ocular Trauma Score (OTS), Toddlers Ocular Trauma Score (TOTS), and Pediatric Ocular Trauma Score (POTS) for prognosis prediction in Indian children who had mechanical ocular conditions causing traumatic cataract.

Methods: This prospective, interventional study recruited consecutive children undergoing operation for traumatic cataracts caused by mechanical eye injuries at Drashti Netralaya. The following details were obtained from their medical files: the circumstance and time of injuries, penetrating injury type, initial and final visual acuity (VA), time of operation, and associated eye diseases.

Brittle cornea syndrome (BCS) is a genetic connective tissue disorder with discernible ocular features such as blue scleral and thin cornea that predominantly presents in younger children. We herein describe cases of three siblings with BCS, two of whom presented to us with open globe injuries following trivial trauma. Clinical examination of the other eye in both showed diffusely thin corneas and blue sclera. Read More

Background: Ocular trauma may result in pathology of the ocular surface and adnexa, extraocular muscles, orbital walls, eye and optic nerve. Detailed history followed by a complete ocular and, if indicated, radiological examination is therefore a crucial part of any trauma assessment. It is important to determine whether a patient with ocular trauma can be reassured or requires immediate referral for further investigation and surgical repair. Read More

Purpose: Numerous causes of ocular lacerations, including, open globe injuries have been extensively reported but to our knowledge this is first time that pressure washers have been reported to be the culprit. Thus, in this case series we describe the uniqueness of ocular findings secondary to high-power pressure washer injuries that are a result of their mechanistic function.

Observations: Here we report a case series of 3 patients who presented in an emergency department with pain and decreased visual acuity following usage of high-pressure washer machines. Read More
