Re: “Open-globe injuries: associated findings, management, and visual outcomes”
Abstract
This letter discusses the study by Kılıç et al. on adult open-globe injuries, highlighting its valuable contribution to national data. Several suggestions are presented to enhance the manuscript, including the incorporation of the Ocular Trauma Score (OTS), detailed timing analysis within the first 24 hours, infection prophylaxis clarification, and imaging-based reporting for intraocular foreign bodies. These additions could further strengthen the study’s clinical relevance and interpretability.

Keywords : Open-globe injury, Ocular Trauma Score, Endophthalmitis prophylaxis
