Abstract
Severe ocular trauma presents a number of problems in diagnosis and management. The visual potential of the eye has to be predicted and weighed against the risk of sympathetic ophthalmia and the chances of a blind painful eye, and on this balance an early decision must be made whether to enucleate. In addition, there is an increasing interest in the possibility of major reconstructive surgery in the early post-operative stage after primary repair.
