AIM: To investigate the situation of patients with mechanical ocular trauma and the possible influencing factors related to the prognosis.

METHODS: Totally 260 patients(286 eyes)with mechanical ocular trauma from January 2011 to January 2016 in Xiaogan Central Hospital were selected and retrospective studied. Sociology and clinical data including gender, age, career, injury causes, injury nature, treatment time and visual acuity on admission in these patients were univariate analyzed, then the positive factors were analyzed using Logistic regression.

RESULTS: The middle-aged and young males were domain in 260 patients. The causes were mainly sharp instrument injury, while perforating injury of eyeball was the majority in injury nature. Univariate analysis showed that injury causes, injury nature, treatment time and eyesight on admission were influencing factors, while multivariate analysis by Logistic regression showed that visual acuity on admission and orbital contusion were independent influencing factors for patients ocular trauma.

CONCLUSION: Ocular trauma is a majoy cause of monocular blind, there are close associations between prognosis of ocular trauma and orbital contusion and visual acuity on admission. But the majority of ocular trauma is preventable and treatable, the relevant measures should be developed to prevent the ocular trauma.
