Abstract

Eyesight is one of the most important senses that humans possess. If vision is lost, a blind man, although rich cannot enjoy the worldly pleasures. Hence, it is said that ‘Sarvendriyam nayanam pradhanam.[1] Any injury due to any external (Physical) or internal (Mental) factors that causes pain or other symptoms to the eye is called Nayanabhighata.[2] Ocular Trauma/Injury is said to be one of the leading cause of blindness worldwide. Industrialization and Urbanization may alter or modify prevalent etiological factors and the presentation of such injuries.[3]

Keywords: Nayanabhighata, Closed Globe Injury, Open Globe Injury, Foreign body, Ocular Injuries.
