METHODS: This is a retrospective chart review. A search of the medical records was conducted for patients presenting to the ED at The Royal Victorian Eye and Ear Hospital, with badminton-related eye injuries from June 2018 to May 2023. Data were extracted, focusing on injury mechanism, patient demographics and treatment outcomes.
RESULTS: In total, 88 patients were included in the study, comprising 64 (73%) men and 24 (27%) women. The mean patient age was 36.13 years. The most common injury was hyphaema (73%), followed by commotio retinae (45%). One patient sustained a penetrating eye injury when a shuttlecock shattered the spectacles he was wearing during play. Medical intervention was required for 90% of patients. The most common interventions were steroid eye drops (80%) and cycloplegic eyedrops (76%). A total of six (7%) patients required surgical management. For those 69 patients followed up at The Royal Victorian Eye and Ear Hospital, 77% of patients had a final best-corrected visual acuity of 6/6 or greater.
CONCLUSIONS: Hyphaema, commotio retinae and traumatic uveitis were the most commonly diagnosed injuries. The majority of patients with badminton-related eye injuries required medical treatment, and some necessitated surgical intervention. To mitigate these risks, there is a pressing need to develop an eye safety policy for Australian badminton players, and players should exercise caution when wearing spectacles during play to prevent potential penetrating eye injuries.
方法:这是一个回顾性图表综述。在皇家维多利亚眼耳医院为就诊于急诊室的患者进行了医疗记录的搜索,2018年6月至2023年5月与羽毛球相关的眼睛受伤。数据被提取,关注损伤机制,患者人口统计学和治疗结果。
结果:总计,88名患者被纳入研究,包括64名(73%)男性和24名(27%)女性。患者平均年龄为36.13岁。最常见的损伤是积血(73%),其次是Commotio视网膜(45%)。一名患者因羽毛球打碎了他在比赛中戴的眼镜而遭受了穿透性的眼睛伤害。90%的患者需要医疗干预。最常见的干预措施是类固醇滴眼液(80%)和睫状肌麻痹滴眼液(76%)。共有6名(7%)患者需要手术治疗。对于在皇家维多利亚眼耳医院随访的69名患者,77%的患者的最终最佳矫正视力为6/6或更高。
结论:充血,合并视网膜和外伤性葡萄膜炎是最常见的诊断损伤。大部分与羽毛球有关的眼外伤患者需要接受治疗,和一些需要手术干预。为了减轻这些风险,迫切需要为澳大利亚羽毛球运动员制定一项眼睛安全政策,球员在比赛中佩戴眼镜时应谨慎,以防止潜在的穿透性眼睛伤害。
