Clinical Trial Summary
This study investigated the epidemiology, aetiologies, and complications of playtime
open-globe injuries in children at the Assiut University Hospital, Egypt, between January to

Description:
This prospective study was conducted at the Department of Ophthalmology, Assiut University
Hospital, which is the largest tertiary referral hospital in Upper Egypt and provides 24-hour

ocular laceration (corneal, scleral or corneoscleral) and associated complications were
