Abstract :

Background: Traumatic globe luxation is a very rare clinical condition. It usually presents after severe trauma to orbit often causing wall fracture and severe globe damage which entails enucleation. Results: A retrospective interventional case series of three patients presenting to emergency room (ER) with globe luxation accompanied by varying clinical presentation over years 2017-23. Conclusion: Globe luxation is a rare condition often requiring multidisciplinary approach. In spite of the visual prognosis being very poor appropriate management and follow-up can lead to better preservation of cosmesis.
