Posterior segment trauma affects the retina, vitreous, or optic nerve, often resulting from blunt trauma, penetrating injuries, or high-velocity impacts. This can cause retinal detachment, hemorrhage, or optic nerve damage, all of which can lead to severe vision loss if untreated.
Surgical removal of blood or debris from the vitreous to improve vision and access the retina.
Techniques like laser photocoagulation or scleral buckling to reattach the retina.
Assessing and managing trauma-induced swelling or damage to the optic nerve.
