Ocular trauma repair is a procedure performed to treat eye injuries caused by trauma, such as lacerations, contusions, or foreign body penetration. The surgery aims to repair the damaged tissues, restore normal anatomy, and prevent complications such as retinal detachment, hemorrhage, or infection. Ocular trauma repair is often necessary to preserve vision and prevent long-term damage.
The procedure may involve suturing the cornea or sclera, repairing the iris or lens, or removing any foreign bodies from the eye. In some cases, more advanced techniques like vitrectomy or scleral buckling may be required to address internal damage or stabilize the eye.
Ocular trauma repair is essential in preventing vision loss and restoring the function of the eye following traumatic injury. The success of the surgery depends on the severity of the injury and how quickly the patient receives treatment.
