Abstract
Les brûlures oculaires sont des traumatismes potentiellement responsables d’une grande morbidité oculaire. Elles sont la conséquence d’accidents professionnels ou domestiques. Leur pronostic dépend de la rapidité d’une prise en charge adéquate. Nous rapportons trois cas de traumatismes oculaires suite à des brulures dans une structure hospitalière de la ville de Yaoundé.
Le but de ce travail est de souligner la nécessité de la sensibilisation sur les mesures à prendre face à une brûlure oculaire et la nécessité du respect des consignes de sécurité afin de prévenir les accidents.
ABSTRACT
Ocular burns are one of the traumatisms potentially responsible for significant ocular morbidity. They are the consequences of occupational or domestic accidents. Their prognosis depends on the speed of an adequate treatment. We report three cases of eye trauma following burns in a hospital structure in the city of Yaoundé.
The aim of this work is to highlight the need for awareness of the measures to be taken in the face of an eye burn and the need to respect safety instructions in order to prevent accidents.
