Therapy of intraocular traumatic hemorrhage with the new drug hemaz is an important problem of ophthalmic traumatology. Seventy patients (76 eyes) with intraocular hemorrhages of traumatic origin were treated. Forty four patients (44 eyes) presented with hyphemas and 32 (32 eyes) with hemophthalmia. The results of hemaz therapy were compared with those of traditional treatment. The results confirm the high efficacy of hemaz which was well tolerated with sub-conjunctival and parabulbar injection. Indications for the use of this drug in clinical practice were formulated: it is recommended for the treatment of posttraumatic and postoperative hyphemas of any volume, including pupil hyphema, and for partial posttraumatic hemophthalmia.

Purpose: The purpose of this study is to analyze the trends and characteristics of ocular trauma research published from 2000 to 2022 to delineate the trajectory of the field's research, provide information about the network of key contributors, and help determine future research strategies and direction.
Methods: Web of Science was queried for published works using a series of keywords relating to ocular trauma: "globe rupture", "ruptured globe", "globe injury", "ocular trauma", "intraocular foreign body", "eye trauma", "eye injury", and "traumatic endophthalmitis". All article information was compiled using the VOSviewer software.

Purpose: This study aims to explore the diagnostic utility of ultrasound B-scan while introducing the "Triangle" sign as a novel indicator. It also validates the sign's efficacy in distinguishing between choroidal detachment (CD) and suprachoroidal hemorrhage (SCH) from retinal detachment (RD) and vitreous hemorrhage (VH).
Patients And Methods: Retrospective analysis of consecutive cases of total CD and SCH undergoing B-scan at a single tertiary imaging center.

Background: The outcomes of pediatric glaucoma suspects with a history of ocular trauma remains unknown; we describe the rate of conversion to glaucoma of this population of patients at a research-intensive academic center.
Methods: We conducted a retrospective case series of pediatric patients with a history of open- or closed-globe trauma who were being monitored as pediatric glaucoma suspects at the Wilmer Eye Institute between 2005 and 2016.
Results: A total of 62 eyes from 62 patients with a history of ocular trauma were identified with a median age at presentation of 9.

Purpose Of Review: Intimate partner violence (IPV) is a leading cause of death and disability across the world. We sought to investigate the prevalence and clinical presentation of ocular injuries in IPV.
Recent Findings: Literature review revealed 16 published studies that evaluated ocular injuries in IPV, of which the study types included 9 retrospective studies, 2 prospective, 1 review, 1 invited commentary, 2 case reports, and 1 population-based cross-sectional survey.
