Abstract

Pediatric ocular trauma is common, and open globe injuries in particular can have poor visual outcomes. Efforts to improve visual outcomes include prompt recognition and surgical repair of open globe injuries with diligent follow-up for complications. Visual rehabilitation includes treatment of amblyopia, which is common after surgical repair. This chapter will present suggestions on how to recognize pediatric open globe injuries, considerations for ancillary testing, antibiotic prophylaxis, and follow-up care. An example of a pediatric perforating eye injury will be presented, including the child’s presentation, surgical repair, and follow-up care.
