Correlative Factors for Traumatic Brain Injury in Combat Ocular Trauma

Abstract

Traumatic brain injury (TBI) remains a significant source of disability for active duty service members in both deployed and training settings as well as those who have left active service. Service members with ocular trauma are at risk for a TBI and should be screened appropriately. Early detection results in treatment to minimize long-term sequelae which can often be debilitating. This study is the first to evaluate different combat-related ocular injuries and their associations with TBI.
