Craniofacial fractures often have the potential for associated ocular injury, especially in cases with orbital or mid-face trauma. The incidence of ocular injuries associated with orbital fractures varies significantly in the literature, ranging from 2.7% to 90.6% [1]. The outcome of traumatic eye injuries can be something reversible like blurred vision, as in traumatic mydriasis, or irreversible complete blindness, as seen in severe retinal detachment or eyeball luxation or avulsion [2].
