National Journal of Maxillofacial Surgery 2016 January
PURPOSE: The purpose of this study was to analyze the prevalence of ocular defect among different age groups, gender, side involved, and etiology.
MATERIALS AND METHODS: A retrospective study was conducted among referred ocular defect patients in a dental college in southern part of India over a 5 years period (2008-2012). Information regarding general identification, gender, age, affected side, and etiology was collected. The collected data were analyzed and grouped according to different age groups, gender, side involved, and etiology.
RESULTS: The ocular defects were more frequently observed in the young male population (66%). Trauma (46%) and pathogenic (44%) causes were the main reasons over nonspecific (8%) and congenital (2%) reasons.
CONCLUSION: High prevalence of injuries and infections in young adults (mostly males) predominantly causing ocular bulb loss.
