Abstract
Trauma presents with a huge variety. Not one traumatic case can be compared with the other. This makes trauma surgery exciting and demanding but makes also recommendations for surgical procedure rather difficult. Generally, a globe injury is divided into an open globe injury and a closed globe injury. Here we will only talk about open globe injuries. For open globe injury, two major traumas are possible: (1) an ocular injury with intraocular foreign body (IOFB) and (2) globe injuries affecting the sclera (scleral injury) or the cornea (corneal injury). Remark: A corneal injury is often called a perforation, and a scleral rupture is also named a globe rupture. (See Fig. 22.1 (Videos 22.1, 22.2, 22.3, 22.4, 22.5 and 22.6).)
