PURPOSE: The purpose of this study was to conduct an in-depth analysis of traumatic @entity1596 in @entity1 managed in a mid-Atlantic tertiary care center with the goal of better characterizing the clinical features and outcomes of this large and important subset of @entity1596 @entity1 . METHODS: This was a retrospective, observational study comparing traumatic @entity1596 @entity1 with nontraumatic @entity1596 @entity1 seen at the University of Virginia, Charlottesville, VA, USA, from 1984 to 2014. RESULTS: Fifty-four traumatic @entity1596 @entity1 (55 eyes) were identified. The @entity1 population was 70.4% male, 57.4% Caucasian, and 37.0% African American. Mean age at diagnosis was 31.2 years; mean duration of follow-up was 5.4 years; and mean number of visits to the clinic was 4. The most common treatment modality was local @entity230 (77.8%). @entity726 was medically managed in eight @entity1 (14.8%). @entity231 surgery was performed in five @entity1 (9.3%). Mean best-corrected visual acuity at baseline for traumatic @entity1596 @entity1 was 0.33 logMAR (SD 0.42) at the initial visit and 0.16 logMAR (SD 0.33) at the final visit. Mean baseline intraocular pressure (IOP) in the traumatic @entity1596 group was 15.5 mmHg (SD 7.4) at the initial visit and 14.6 mmHg (SD 4.0) at the final visit. @entity1 in the traumatic @entity1596 cohort tended to have better visual outcomes than those in the nontraumatic @entity1596 cohort. CONCLUSION: In our series, traumatic @entity1596 @entity1 tended to be young and male and present with unilateral disease, all findings consistent with other reports. Despite relatively good visual outcomes, the traumatic @entity1596 @entity1 still experienced a high burden of disease, measured both in the number of clinic visits and duration of follow-up. Due to the young mean age of @entity1 , these disease burdens and decreased quality of life are nontrivial, emphasizing the importance of careful management and prompt treatment of this subset of @entity1596 @entity1 .
