• Target: 104
• Locations: 1 country
• Sites: 1

Brief Summary

The purpose of this study is to establish an eye injury registry to assess the mechanisms and outcomes of significant eye injuries occurring in Canada. The epidemiologic data will determine where public health strategies should be directed to prevent future eye injuries.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

• Number and type of eye injuries occurring in Canada

  To record and determine the types and epidemiologic data of eye injuries in Canada.

  6 months

Secondary Outcomes (1)

• Ocular Trauma Score

  6 months

Study Arms (1)

Patients with Eye Injuries

The database is being established to record the number and types of eye injuries occurring in Canada. Thus there is only one cohort group, individuals who have sustained an eye injury.

Behavioral: Public Health strategies

Interventions

Public Health strategies BEHAVIORAL

It is hoped that by recording of the data (i.e. locations and mechanisms of eye injuries), we may be able to develop public health strategies to prevent further injuries. For example, encouraging more visor wear in hockey games if we notice increased prevalence of hockey eye injuries with no visor.

Patients with Eye Injuries

Eligibility Criteria

• Sex: all
• Healthy Volunteers: No
• Age Groups: Child (0-17), Adult (18-64), Older Adult (65+)
• Sampling Method: Non-Probability Sample

Study Population

All individuals who have sustained a serious eye injury in Canada.

You may qualify if:

• Any patient who experiences an acute eye injury that has or has the potential to compromise the integrity of the eye. These are serious eye injuries resulting in permanent and significant (i.e. measurable or observable on routine eye examination) structural or functional change to the eye. Separate reports are to be filed for each eye involved in bilateral injuries.

You may not qualify if:

• Based on the standard of the United States Eye Injury Registry
• Mild ocular contusions
• Subconjunctival hemorrhage
• Superficial abrasions by themselves usually would not meet the criterion of serious and/or reportable injuries.
