Abstract:
ABSTRACT
INTRODUCTION: Monocular blindness is frequently caused by ocular trauma. Visual
deprivation is one of the most significant deficits recorded by a human being. One can say
ocular trauma is as old as human civilization. The ocular deformity is very evident in all facial
injuries. Despite having a significant socio-economic impact, very little data is available on
ocular trauma's magnitude & risk factors. Few such studies have been conducted in various
parts of India, but none have been conducted in this region. The pattern of ocular injuries in a
region depends upon the activities of the people residing in that particular area. Hence the
present study is intended to assess the profile of ocular trauma in and around Vijayapura
District.
