Long-Term Follow-Up of Patients with Ocular Trauma: Visual and Anatomical Outcomes

Abstract

Ocular Trauma is one of the major causes of permanent blindness in a number of patients. The main purpose of this research is to explore the long-term follow-up of patients with ocular trauma. It can be seen with the help of this research that the Ocular Trauma Scoring System (OTS) is anticipated as one of the better approaches for the prediction of the final visual results. It can also be seen that patients who receive proper treatment on time have better chances to recover and can have better optical and surgical results. The Secondary Qualitative Data has been gathered for this research due to the flexibility and cost-effectiveness of the data. Furthermore, gathered secondary data has been analysed with the help of the Thematic Data Analysis Method. It can be seen by analysing the secondary data that long-term follow-up of ocular trauma patients shows major issues that can affect the well-being of the patients and can decrease recovery retention rates.
