Blunt trauma

Abstract

Publisher Summary This chapter discusses blunt trauma of an eye. A blow to the eye may cause a variety of ocular injuries. Blackeye is a hematoma within the soft tissues of the lids that may spread down over the cheek. The swelling and discoloration resolve within two weeks. Subconjunctival hemorrhage appears as a bright red patch through the transparent conjunctiva. It is limited anteriorly by the attachment of the conjunctiva at the corneal limbus. This chapter discusses various medical conditions in which numerous eye disorders may take place. Retinal tear is particularly likely to occur in predisposed eyes with areas of retinal weakness. Treatment is required to prevent the development of a retinal detachment. Vitreous hemorrhage is frequently an associated retinal tear and careful examination of the fundus is essential once an adequate view can be obtained through the hemorrhage.
