Association between concurrent orbital fracture and reduced glaucoma risk following ocular contusion

Key Points

• This research investigates the relationship between concurrent orbital fractures and glaucoma risk following ocular contusion.
• Analyzed cases of ocular contusion and recorded the occurrence of orbital fractures.
• Examined long-term glaucoma risk in affected individuals post-injury.
• Used statistical methods to determine the association between fractures and glaucoma outcomes.
• Concurrent orbital fractures were linked to a reduced overall risk of developing glaucoma.
• The presence of these fractures may lead to better risk stratification for glaucoma during follow-up.
• Findings suggest a potential protective factor against glaucoma due to orbital fractures.
