Abstract

Background: Bungee cords are usually used in daily work and vacations. However, this equipment may result in serious ocular trauma. Purpose: To describe clinical presentations and prognosis of bungee-cord ocular trauma with ocular trauma score (OTS). Methods: Prosprective cross-sectional study. One hundred and four patients were included in this study from April 1^st 2018 to March 31^st 2019. Patients baseline visual acuity, clinical presentations and knowledge about risk of trauma from bungee cord were recorded. Results: Most patients have baseline visual acuity from counting finger to no light perception (84.62%). The most common sign of anterior segment, posterior segment and periorbital tissues was, in order, hyphema (85.58%), vitreous hemorrhage (80.77%) and lid ecchymosis (53.85%). Most patients were graded 1 and 2 (68.27%) according to OTS. Only 8.65% of patients were aware of risk of trauma from bungee cord. Conclusion: Bungee-cord ocular trauma, in most cases, lead to irreversible decrease of visual acuity. Therefore, there should be apparent notice about the risk of trauma from the manufacturers and the media to people who use this equipment.
