Objective: To identify the epidemiology, common clinical findings, causes, and management of eye trauma patients in a Jordanian emergency room [ER] setting over a five-year period. Methods: The present study examined [1,800] medical records of people who arrived with ocular trauma to the Ophthalmology ER at King Hussein Medical City from January 2020 to December 2024. The demographics, injury type [BETTS classification], causes, and management protocols were examined. Results: There are a total of [1,800] cases reviewed. The majority of the patients are males [75%] with a median age of 28 years. Workplace accidents [35%] and domestic injuries [25%] were the most common causes. The most common findings were superficial corneal foreign bodies [40%], closed-globe contusions [30%], and open-globe injuries [10%]. Most cases were managed conservatively or with minor ER procedures, while 15% required surgical intervention. Conclusion: Eye injuries are an important risk factor for emergency visits in Jordan, predominantly among male workers of working age. Prevention should be done in the workplace by providing education and proper ocular protection. So it can be seen that timely management of the ER improves visual outcomes.
