The term globe rupture is used to describe a wide range of globe injuries. Globe rupture is defined as globe injury caused by the blunt object or due to an impact with inside-out mechanism. Globe injuries are expected to cause 3.5 eye injuries per 100,000 people worldwide, leading to about 203,000 new cases each year. Globe rupture is one of the most serious globe injuries resulting in lifelong blindness. The purpose of this research is to review the available information about the etiology, epidemiology, assessment, and prognosis of globe rupture. Globe rupture have a 27-fold high chance of development after previous intraocular surgery, myopia, age, among women, and a sudden collapse. Sharp objects trauma is a reason of globe rupture among children while accidents or injuries at work, assault, and car accidents are common causes for adults. The length of the wound and its location, both are important prognostic factors for primary care of globe rupture. Awareness of prognostic factors allows for more accurate and targeted interventions aimed at reducing vision loss caused by open ocular trauma. Literature has quite scarce epidemiological data regarding the globe rupture in future however, more population-based studies can significantly contribute. Early diagnosis and prompt treatment is essential for management of disease also awareness and use of protective equipment can also decrease the risk of globe rupture and injury. </p> </abstract> <kwd-group> <kwd>globe</kwd> <kwd> rupture</kwd> <kwd> eye</kwd> <kwd> injury</kwd> </kwd-group> </article-meta> </front> </article>
