摘要

一个案例系列,突出了在尼日利亚拉各斯这样的城市,即使在最初的眼部创伤之后,人们仍然在实践不同的有害眼科做法。本文报道了3例因有害物质注入眼睛而致视力丧失/失明的病例。第一位患者是一名24岁的女大学生,她在最初的双侧钝性眼部损伤导致双侧角膜脓肿后,将尿液和“圣水”应用于双眼。第二例患者为54岁男性汽车电工,因眼部外伤导致前葡萄肿,先将尿液和明矾溶液注入左眼。在第三个病例中,将橄榄油和煤油涂抹在一名5岁男性瞳孔的右眼上,随后将强力胶意外涂抹在眼睛上,导致双眼强直性斜视和视力丧失。在21世纪的尼日利亚,有害的眼科做法和不良的求医行为仍然是一个挑战。有必要开展更多的认识和信息传播项目,以帮助减少有害的眼科做法造成的不必要的视力丧失/失明。

A case series of harmful eye practices following trauma seen at Lagos University Teaching Hospital
A case series which highlights the different harmful eye practices which are still being practiced by individuals even following an initial ocular trauma in an Urban City like Lagos in Nigeria. Three cases of patients with vision loss/blindness, following instillation of harmful substances into the eyes, are presented. The first is a 24-year-old female undergraduate who applied her urine and “holy water” into both eyes, following an initial bilateral blunt ocular injury with resultant bilateral corneal abscess. The second is a 54-year-old male auto-electrician who applied his urine and then alum solution into his left eye, following trauma to the eye with resultant anterior staphyloma. In the third case, olive oil and kerosene were applied into the right eye of a 5-year-old male pupil, following accidental application of super glue into the eye, with resultant ankyloblepharon and vision loss. Harmful eye practices and poor health-seeking behavior still remain a challenge in the 21st-century Nigeria. There is a need for more awareness and information dissemination programs, which can be instituted to help reduce needless vision loss/blindness resulting from harmful eye practices.
