  • The study aimed to analyze sociodemographic factors in patients with eye-related issues attending emergency departments (EDs) and differentiate between emergent and nonemergent cases.
  • A total of 60,677 patients were evaluated across multiple eye hospitals throughout 2019, with findings indicating that most diagnoses were nonemergent (56.7%).
