Corneal trauma is a common ocular injury that leads to vision loss and
disability in individuals. This study aims to investigate the prevalence of
corneal trauma among patients attending Noor Hospital in Kabul in the
second half of 2019.
According to the results, the most common cause of corneal trauma is
domestic accidents, with men being three times more affected than women.
Furthermore, children and adolescents under the age of 20 are more prone to
corneal trauma. In terms of the affected eye, the right eye is more commonly
affected than the left eye, and iris prolapse is the most frequent associated
complication with corneal trauma. Based on these findings, increasing
community awareness through education, universities, and families can
reduce the risk of corneal trauma.
