Introduction: Ocular trauma is a global concern causing visual impairment and blindness, affecting all age groups and occurring in various settings, including homes, workplaces and leisure activities. This study investigates the epidemiological patterns of ocular trauma in adult patients in China, to understand the characteristics and causes of these injuries.
Materials and methods: We analyzed data from a diverse sample of adult patients who suffered ocular trauma. Hospital stay duration, as an indicator of injury severity and recovery complexity, was the primary outcome measure. We used Analysis of the Variance (ANOVA) and post-hoc tests to compare hospital stays among different diagnostic categories. Changes in vision acuity before and after the injury were secondary outcomes, analyzed using paired t-tests.
