Traumatic Injury

A traumatic injury to the eye refers to any damage or harm sustained by the eye as a result of physical force or trauma. These injuries can vary widely in severity and may affect different parts of the eye, including the cornea, iris, lens, retina, and surrounding tissues. Common causes of traumatic eye injuries include blunt force trauma (such as being struck by an object), penetrating injuries (such as cuts or punctures), chemical burns, and foreign objects entering the eye.
