Article Synopsis
- - This study assessed eye injuries caused by kites during Makar Sankranti from 2014 to 2019, focusing on the causes, types, and severity of these injuries.
- - Out of 68 patients, most were male, with injuries including globe rupture, lid laceration, and penetrating injuries; poor visual outcomes were linked to initial poor eyesight and severe injuries.
- - The conclusion emphasizes that kite-related injuries are preventable, particularly among young males, and suggests that protective eyewear and increased public awareness could significantly reduce these incidents.
