The Birmingham Eye Trauma Terminology (BETT) describes the accepted set of definitions used to unambiguously describe the nature (open vs. closed globe) and mechanism of an injury. A standardized classification system is then used to further categorize ocular trauma based on the mechanism of injury...
We report the case of an enucleation for an open-globe injury in which we used alginate, which is often used for dental impressions, as filler for the collapsed globe. We were able to maintain the resistance of the globe sufficiently well enough to perform the procedure easily and without ...

The diagnosis of open globe injuries is often difficult to ascertain by physical examination and even with CT scans. MRI is used to evaluate a variety of globe pathologies and can also be used in certain patients with suspected injury of the globe. We report a case of traumatic globe injury...
BACKGROUND: This study aimed to evaluate 1-year follow-up results of cases that were diagnosed with open globe injury (OGI), to compare trauma-related characteristics between pediatric and adult cases, and to determine risk factors for a poor final visual acuity. METHODS: This study enrolled 29...

Intra-operatively, 4 - 5 samples were taken from the inferior conjunctival sac and anterior chamber at the beginning and end of the open globe injury repair. Any abscised tissue or foreign body was also sent for culture sensitivity. A vitreous tap was taken from eyes with posterior segment ...
Pathophysiology Ocular trauma may either be closed globe or open globe.1 A closed globe injury does not fully penetrate the eye wall (ie, the cornea, limbus, and sclera) whereas an OGI penetrates the full thickness of the eye wall. The eye wall provides anatomic rigidity and aligns the ...
