Abstract
STUDY DESIGN: THIS IS A CROSS-SECTIONAL HOSPITAL-BASED STUDY CARRIED OUT IN A TERTIARY CARE FACILITY.
PURPOSE – IS TO STUDY THE EFFECTIVENESS OF AS-OCT IN ASSESSING ANTERIOR SEGMENT OF EYE FOLLOWING CLOSE GLOBE INJURY.
METHOD: STUDY WAS DONE ON 25 PATIENTS AT A TERTIARY CARE CENTER FOR A PERIOD OF 6 MONTHS PRESENTING WITH HISTORY OF CLOSE GLOBE INJURY ,THOSE PATIENTS WERE SUBJECTED TO AS-OCT
RESULTS
SUBLUXATION OF LENS AND ANGLE RECESSION ARE MOST COMMON FINDING IN OUR STUDY;OBSERVED IN 20% AND 16% CASES RESPECTIVELY. ACUTE ANGLE CLOSURE DUE TO TRAUMATIC LENS DISLOCATION AND IRIDODIALYSIS IS ALSO FOUND.
CONCLUSION
THE NONCONTACT SCANNING CAPABILITIES OF AS-OCT PROVED VERY IMPORTANT FOR EVALUATING EYES WITH GRAVE FACIAL INJURIES .AS-OCT ALSO HELPS IN QUANTIFYING THE DEPTH OF FOREIGN MATERIALS IN CORNEA.
