The Samara Region peculiar features of children’s eye injury
Abstract
Introduction. Damage of the organ of vision in children has always been and remains one of the leading causes of persistent and irreversible decline of visual functions. The aim — to analyze the structure of eye injuries among the children’s population in the Samara region with an assessment of its dynamics in 2022–2023 according to the data of the children’s ophthalmological microsurgical department No. 5 of the T.I. Eroshevsky SOKOB. Materials and methods. The analysis of the structure of eye injuries among children in the Samara region in 2022–2023 was carried out with an assessment of the dynamics based on the data taken from the T.I. Eroshevsky SOKOB. 83 cases of eye injuries have been studied. All patients underwent a generally accepted clinical and standard ophthalmological examination before and after the treatment. The analysis of the obtained data was carried out using the Microsoft Office 2007 program, while the average va lue, the average error and the Student’s criterion were calculated. The differences were considered statistically significant at p ≤0.05. Results. Closed eye injuries prevailed in the structure of childhood eye injuries. Penetrating wounds of the eyeball and eyelid injuries occurred with the same frequency. Patients with the introduction of a foreign body were rarely encountered. There were no patients with purulent complications. The prevalence of eye injuries in children aged 9–18 years, mainly in boys, was determined. The seasonality of eye injuries was noted — June, July, August and January. The analysis of the results of treatment of eye injuries of various genesis and varying severity has been carried out. Conclusion. The problem of eye injury in children requires a comprehensive approach to its solution. It is necessary to carry out preventive measures in children’s educational institutions and educational conversations with children and their parents in order to minimize cases of damage to the organ of vision.
