March 1, 2024 updated by: Vera Sumual, Prof. R. D. Kandou General Hospital

Ocular Trauma During the COVID-19 Pandemic Era at an Indonesian Tertiary Care Center: A Retrospective Cohort Study

Ocular injuries, a significant contributor to avoidable blindness globally, impact approximately 55 million individuals each year. Prompt initial treatment is vital for improving vision, yet the scarcity of skilled eye specialists often results in overcrowding at advanced medical centers. Moreover, the COVID-19 outbreak has introduced distinct factors into the management of ocular trauma. This research investigated the epidemiology of ocular injuries during the pandemic and offered observations on the distinctive hurdles and trends encountered.
