Keywords:

Introduction: characteristics of the patients treated for corneal wound remain unknown at the Hospital General Docente “Dr. Agostinho Neto”.
Objective: to characterize the corneal wound in patients admitted to the ophthalmology service of the aforementioned hospital in the period from January 2014 to July 2019.
Method: a descriptive, retrospective and longitudinal study of all patients with this diagnosis (n=35) was carried out. The variables studied were: gender, age, origin, activity carried out at the time of injury, type of wound, complications, type of treatment and modifications of visual acuity, according to the treatment applied.
Results: 80.0% of the patients were men, 57.0% were between 19 and 40 years old, 66.0% came from rural areas and 60.0% were engaged in work activities. 91.0% presented a penetrating corneal wound. Traumatic cataract was the most frequent complication (40.0%). 97.0% of the patients received surgical treatment and wound suture. Before and after treatment, 54.0% and 40.0% of the patients, respectively, presented visual acuity, counting finger vision and light perception.
Conclusions: corneal wounds are not a health problem, but it does negatively interfere with the quality of life of those affected by affecting visual acuity.
