Children account for approximately one-third of cases of serious eye injuries.
Despite this, classification and scoring system in pediatric trauma is based adults.The controversy over the position of zone 2 and 3 is even more pronounced in pediatric trauma.Pediatric Ocular Trauma Score (POTS) was published recently and refined the prognostic accuracy.Management of trauma in children has many similarities to adults but striking differences also exist. Foremost is that adults have reached visual maturation whereas amblyopia is a major contributor to poor outcomes in children, especially in those under 5 years old Another difference is that a simple examination, especially in the early stages after trauma can prove difficult in a child requiring general anaesthesia or sedation for proper assessment. Involvement of a pediatric ophthalmologist facilities is therefore essential to ultimate management.We tried to discuss all these issues in this course
