Ocular trauma are a real public health issue. According to WHO, it is estimates at 750,000 hospital admissions per year in the world for ocular trauma, including 200,000 for open globe injuries in the world. Consequences can be severe with a significant number of definitive low vision or blindness which can lead to professionnal reclassifications for active patients. However, no study exists on professional consequences of those ocular trauma. Some studies showed that fonctionnal loss of an eye can also have psychological consequences such as post traumatic depression or can impair the quality of life but studies are scarce on this subject.
The primary objective is to study the professional reclassification of workers at least 6 months after their hospitalization for ocular trauma.
Secondary objectives are to assess, at least 6 months after an hospitalized ocular trauma, characteristics of eye injuries, characteristics of patients, mid-term consequences at work after eye injury and on personal aspects.
Use of the ophthalmologic consultation report, the ophthalmologic hospitalization report and a telephone questionnaire to carry out the study.
At least 6 months after the traumatism, an ophthalmologist member of the team, M. Vincent Jawad, will call each patient for answering a telephone questionnaire after obtention of his oral consent.
If the traumatism occur after the beginning of the study, the patient will be informed, by M. Vincent Jawad, of the modalities of the study during his hospitalization and an information letter will be given to the patient in the same time (annex 2). His non opposition will be asked by telephone, remote from the hospitalization, before proceeding to the telephone questionnaire.
If the traumatism occur before the beginning of the study or if the information and non opposition letter has not been given to the patient during the hospitalization, the information letter (annex 2) will be sent by mail to the patient before the telephone call.
In all cases, the patient's consent (or non opposition) will be collected orally before proceeding to the telephone questionnaire (annex 1).
Medical data will be obtained from the medical report of hospitalization and the last report consultation of his ophthalmologist.
