Summary
India has the rather unenviable distinction of having the highest rate of head injury in the world. About 25% of patients with head injuries will have some form of ocular manifestations and 11% of them will develop blindness. the role of ocular injuries secondary to head trauma in the causation of blindness and overall prognosis of patients has become a subject of immense importance. 3. The visual morbidity following head injuries are most often neglected and present at much later day of injury causing irreparable visual loss. Head injuries are frequently associated with ophthalmic manifestations and consequent visual morbidity, but many of the ophthalmic findings are often ignored and present much later to specialist neuro-ophthalmic clinics. 5,6 The aim of this study was to evaluate various ocular manifestations in cases of head injury patients, correlate them with the patients neurological status and to analyse any association between them Pradeep N, Chandan G B and Nagaradh / IP Indian Journal of Neurosciences 2020;6(3):[152–157] ophthalmic findings is important in early localization of the site of injury, better management, and improved visual prognosis of the patient with head injury. 5,6 The aim of this study was to evaluate various ocular manifestations in cases of head injury patients, correlate them with the patients neurological status and to analyse any association between them
