Activity Description

Blunt injury to the eye can lead to various intrinsic eye injuries. Globe rupture and retrobulbar hematoma are two emergent entities that are of importance. Common symptoms of globe rupture include eye deformity, eye pain, and vision loss, though depending on the clinical suggestion, the deformity may not be readily apparent on the exam. This activity explains the risk factors, evaluation, and management of blunt eye trauma and highlights the importance of the interprofessional team in enhancing care for affected patients.

  • Outline the evaluation of patients with blunt eye trauma.

The reading had many repeat/redundant statements. The scope was above an emergency medicine provider. Many questions were about definitive surgical repair in the scope of an ophthalmologist, not emergency provider.
