Abstract

Ocular trauma remains a significant cause of eye blindness. Disruption or violation of the globe's integrity can lead to an ocular emergency that usually jeopardises the vision. Early identification of this condition can fasten the management process to give the patients the best and most appropriate treatment. We described the role of point-of-care ultrasound (POCUS) in diagnosing globe rupture in the Emergency Department.
