==Effects of Eye Injury==
==Overview==
*'''Closed [[globe]] [[injury]]''' or '''Non-penetrating [[trauma]]''': The eye globe is intact, but the seven rings of the eye have been classically described as affected by blunt trauma.
Multiple complications are known to occur following eye injury: [[corneal]] scarring, [[hyphema]], [[iridodialysis]], post-traumatic [[glaucoma]], [[uveitis]] [[cataract]], [[vitreous hemorrhage]] and [[retinal detachment]]. The complications risk is high with retinal tears, penetrating injuries and severe blunt trauma.
*Perforating trauma: The globe integrity is disrupted in one place and may be associated with [[prolapse]] of internal contents of the eye.
==References==
*Penetrating trauma: The globe integrity is disrupted in two places (through and through injury). This is a quite severe type of eye injury. 
*Blowout fracture of the orbit is caused by blunt trauma, classically described for fist or ball injury, leading to [[fracture]] of the floor or [[medial]] wall of the orbit due to sudden increased pressure on the [[orbital]] contents.
