Description
Dilber Celik Yaprak, Merve Ozbek, Sibel Oskan Yalcin, and Aysin Tuba Kaplan compared three eye trauma scores in children in 2026. Open-globe injuries pierce the wall of the eye and can cost a child sight. Scores that forecast vision early can guide care and family talks.
Records covered one hundred ten children treated surgically between 2018 and 2024. Vision at arrival, injury zone, and linked eye damage predicted poor outcomes, while age, sex, and time to surgery did not. Vision improved a lot by final follow-up on average. All three scores tracked well with final vision in the tests run. The head-to-head design lets clinicians see which score suits this injury group best.
