Relevance. Penetrating eye injuries (PEI) are a serious problem in ophthalmology, as they often lead to severe visual impairment and even blindness. In conditions of increased risk of eye trauma in the workplace and at home, identifying the main factors affecting treatment outcomes is extremely important. Analysis of data on patients with penetrating injuries allows not only to identify the key causes and factors of injury, but also to develop effective strategies to improve visual outcomes. Improving approaches to the treatment of patients with PEI can significantly reduce the level of disability and improve the quality of life of victims. Purpose of the study. Better understanding of the factors influencing vision to maximize treatment outcomes for patients with penetrating eye injuries. Materials and methods. A retrospective analysis of medical State Clinical Hospital. Data analyzed included age, sex, type, cause, location of PEI, initial visual acuity (VA), and final bestcorrected visual acuity (BCVA). Penetrating eye injuries were classified using the Birmingham Terminology of Eye Injuries (BTEI, 1998). Results and conclusion. The average age of patients was 41.9 years. The male to female ratio was 8.4:1. The main causes of injury were work injuries (38.3%), environmental conditions accounted for 12.5%, household injuries were registered in 15.8% of cases. Penetrating injuries accounted for 43.5%, intraocular foreign bodies - 39.1%, ruptures of the eyeball - 13%. Overall, 19.5% of patients recovered good final vision ≥0.5, but in 48.1% of these, ocular trauma resulted in severe visual impairment (BCVA ≤ 0.02). Penetrating eye injuries remains an important preventable cause of ocular morbidity. This study provides evidence that penetrating eye injuries are important cause of visual impairment in our study group.
