Emergency treatment of ocular trauma is a systematic and complicated work. Rapid and correct diagnosis and treatment are needed to maximize the recovery of ocular structure and function. In recent years, China has made remarkable progress in the emergency treatment of ocular trauma, including the development of Expert consensus on the norms of emergency treatment of ocular trauma in China (2019), the establishment of a national ocular trauma database, and the development of VisionGo Artificial Intelligence prediction system for ocular trauma. These measures improve the treatment level of ocular trauma and provide support for the prediction of postoperative visual acuity in severe traumatic eyes. However, with the development of economy and society, the characteristics of ocular trauma in our country have changed. For example, the majority of hospitalized patients were open ocular injuries, farmers and workers were the main occupational groups, and the proportion of eye injuries caused by traffic injuries increased year by year, and the proportion of women and minors increased. Although the annual loss of life of ocular trauma disability in China has decreased faster than the world average, the emergency treatment of ocular trauma still faces many challenges, such as regional differences, insufficient primary medical resources, lack of standardized training, and insufficient promotion of emergency treatment standards. In order to cope with these challenges, it is necessary to further strengthen the popularization of science and technology for the prevention and treatment of ocular trauma, standardize the emergency treatment process, strengthen the training of grass-roots medical personnel, strengthen the safety of emergency surgery, and pay special attention to the particularity of children's ocular trauma. In addition, relevant research has been actively carried out to establish a complete database of emergency patients with ocular trauma to promote the accurate prevention and treatment of ocular trauma.
