CHORIORETINITIS SCLOPETARIA

One of the eye problems that can occur as a result of trauma from high velocity objects is chorioretinitis sclopetaria.

Chorioretinitis sclopetaria is a condition whereby the choroid ( third layer of the uvea, which supplies blood and nutrient to retina and other area) and the retina (the vision house of the eye) gets ruptured due to trauma from high velocity objects.

This damage is as a result of transmitted sound waves from impact without the object penetrating the eyes.

Signs and symptoms includes visual reduction, pain, et.c

Treatment may require surgical intervention.
