Ocular globe trauma can take many forms.
There are three main types of trauma:
>Contusions du globe (e.g., champagne cork)
>Perforating traumas (wooden branch, nail, arrow)
>Superficial foreign bodies, which are benign, and intraocular foreign bodies, which pose a risk to visual prognosis.
Injuries can occur simultaneously at different parts of the eye: eyelid, cornea, conjunctiva, iris, capsule, lens, vitreous, and retina. We will not detail all possible injuries, as they are as varied as the nature of the trauma itself.
In all cases, it is essential to consult an Ophthalmology Emergency Service as soon as possible.
