TFOS Lifestyle Report: Impact of environmental conditions on the ocular surface
2023, Ocular SurfaceEpidemiology, economic and humanistic burdens of Ocular Surface Chemical Injury: A narrative review
2021, Ocular SurfaceCitation Excerpt :However, an Australian prevalence study of vision loss in 4836 individuals over 40 years old noted that 3.2% cases of previous ocular trauma in the non-indigenous Australian population were due to OSCI; a prevalence of 0.7 per 1000 compared to a prevalence of 2.3 per 1000 previously sustaining OSCI in the indigenous Australian population [22]. The workplace was a common location for OSCI to occur, at 43–86% of OSCI cases in adults (Table 3) [21,30,32,46,50,52,57,67,72]. OSCI accounted for 6–45% of occupational ocular trauma [69,72,73,76,77,79,83] and 2.8% of occupational burns [70].
Demographic and clinical profile of ocular chemical injuries in the pediatric age group
2014, OphthalmologyCitation Excerpt :Only 12% of the cases achieved a visual acuity of ≥6/18, whereas 64% of the patients had a visual acuity of <3/60 in our study. A previous study from India showed that 30 of 145 eyes had a final visual acuity of <6/60 and that 10% of these eyes became blind after chemical injury.24 The main limitation of our study is its retrospective design.
Course and outcome of accidental sodium hydroxide ocular injury
2012, American Journal of OphthalmologyCitation Excerpt :Industrial chemical injuries usually are caused by caustic chemicals and solvents. Although the incidence of these injuries is low in developed countries, it is common in developing countries with less rigorous industrial regulations.6–8 Whenever possible, the offending chemical should be identified, because the severity of a chemical injury depends on the pH, volume, and inherent toxicity of the chemical as well as the duration of contact.
Clinical characteristics and visual outcome of severe ocular chemical injuries in shanghai
2010, OphthalmologyCitation Excerpt :Interestingly, the presence of visual impairment only had a significant association with complications caused by the chemical burn. This result confirms previous studies that visual prognosis is better in eyes with mild chemical burns.12,17 We also found that the association between the patients' occupation and visual impairment was statistically marginal.
