The purpose of the training session: Ocular traumas make from 5% to 10% of all eye diseases. Due to this fact the main goal of our lecture is to convince GP in necessity of acquiring knowledge in the questions of etiology, pathogenesis, clinics, diagnostics, treatment and prophylaxis of ocular traumas.

Pedagogical objectives:• Peculiarities of management of patients with ocular traumas and eyeburns.

• Methods of rehabilitation at ocular traumas and burns.• The reasons leading to ocular traumas.• Main clinical symptoms, differential diagnosis, complications of ocular traumas and burns. • First aid at electroophthalmia.

• The symptoms of “sympathetic” ophthalmia

Learning outcomes:The student should know:•Peculiarities of tactics and management of patients with ocular traumas and eye burns

•Methods of rehabilitation at ocular traumas and eye burns

•The reasons leading to ocular traumas and eye burns

•General clinical symptoms, differential diagnosis, complications of ocular traumas and eye burns

•First aid at electroophthalmia • Symptoms of sympathetic ophthalmia

The student should be able to:• Determine tactics in patients with ocular traumas and eye burns•Perform regular examination and treatment of patients with ocular traumas and eye burns• Interpret the results of labs and instrumental methods of examination of patients with ocular traumas and eye burns. • Perform consultations of patients with ocular traumas

• Diagnose of orbital fractures • Differentiate different types of eye burns • Provide fist aid at eye burns

Blunt trauma of soft tissues and orbitInjuries are divided by localization:

Blunt traumas of soft tissue and orbit

Closed fractures of orbit

First-aid tacticsFirst-aid tactics First aid for injuries of surrounding soft

tissues: on-site imposition of cold for 1-2 hours (ice, wet wipes).

Maintaining hemostatic vasoconstrictors (menadione, vitamin K, Ascorutinum calcium chloride 10%).

Immediately send to ophthalmologist.

Divided according to severity:Mild - complete recovery Medium - small residual symptoms do not

affect visual function Severe - there are large morphological

and functional disorders Very severe - Rough morphological

changes, loss of function

Prophylaxis of ocular traumasProphylaxis of ocular traumas

Prevention consists of two stages:The first step, i.e. Primary prevention - preventive measures among the population at home, on the streets, in schools, kindergartens.The second stage, i.e. secondary prevention - early diagnosis, urgent measures to actively integrated medical and surgical treatment to help to prevent dangerous complications such as purulent and phacogenic uveitis, metallosis, hypotension eyeball and sympathetic ophthalmia.
