ABSTRACT:
The study aimed to evaluate and estimate the visual prognosis of paediatric ocular trauma using the Paediatric Ocular Trauma Score (POTS). The results showed that the most common causes of ocular injuries in children were during sports and play, followed by firecracker injuries. It is recommended that preventive measures, such as proper supervision and the use of safety gear, should be taken to avoid such injuries. The study suggests the use of mass media to promote safety procedures and the development of a standardised documentation system to facilitate research and improve emergency care services. The loss of vision can have a profound impact on a child's life, and health education about eye protection should be provided at schools, educational health centres, and sports academies. Ultimately, preventing and managing ocular trauma in paediatric patients requires a collaborative effort between parents, teachers, and doctors.
