## Classification

[edit | edit source]

* Closed globe injury or Non-penetrating trauma: The eye globe is intact, but the seven rings of the eye have been classically described as affected by blunt trauma.
* Perforating trauma: The globe integrity is disrupted in one place and may be associated with prolapse of internal contents of the eye.
* Penetrating trauma: The globe integrity is disrupted in two places (through and through injury). This is a quite severe type of eye injury.
* Blowout fracture of the orbit is caused by blunt trauma, classically described for fist or ball injury, leading to fracture of the floor or medial wall of the orbit due to sudden increased pressure on the orbital contents.
