摘要
目的:本研究的目的是确定在奥尼沙吉尼斯眼科中心就诊的患者因烟花引起的眼部损伤的发生率和类型及其对视力的影响。方法:本研究是一项为期3年的回顾性研究，评估2010-2012年圣诞节和新年期间在奥尼沙吉尼斯眼科中心(Guinness Eye Centre Onitsha)治疗的眼部烟花损伤患者的病例档案。信息被提取到一个形式和分析使用Excel, AutoSum和计算器。结果:结膜下出血、角膜撕裂、前房积血是最常见的损伤。患者有多种眼部病变，其中左眼病变占62.5%。旁观者造成的眼部伤害占75%。所有人都是男性。一半受影响的眼睛失明。结论:2010年、2011年和2012年，烟花爆竹伤害分别占眼部伤害的5.1%、0%和10%，造成50%的眼致盲。
Ocular Fireworks Injuries in Eastern Nigeria: A 3-Year Review.
Aim: The aim of this study is to determine the incidence and types of ocular injuries caused by fireworks in patients seen at Guinness Eye Centre Onitsha and their effects on vision.
Methods: This was a 3-year retrospective study evaluating case files of patients with ocular fireworks injuries seen at Guinness Eye Centre Onitsha during the Christmas and New Year festivities (2010-2012). Information was extracted into a pro forma and analyzed using Excel, AutoSum, and calculators.
Results: Subconjunctival hemorrhage, corneal lacerations, and hyphema were the most common injuries seen. Patients had multiple ocular pathologies, and the left eye was affected in 62.5% of cases. Bystanders accounted for 75% of those with ocular fireworks injuries. All were males. Half of the affected eyes went blind.
Conclusion: Fireworks injuries constituted only 5.1%, 0%, and 10% of ocular injuries in 2010, 2011, and 2012, respectively, with devastating consequence of blindness in 50% of affected eyes.
