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.

Abstract

Ocular contusion is associated with sustained glaucoma risk. Concurrent orbital fracture is associated with reduced risk, possibly by dissipating traumatic forces, and may aid in glaucoma risk stratification and long-term surveillance.
