Abstract
According to the World Health Organization, 1.6 million people lose their vision entirely, and 19 million experience vision loss annually due to eye injuries. Radiological imaging plays a crucial role in aiding difficult clinical evaluations in trauma cases. In ocular and orbital trauma, computed tomography (CT) is the first-choice imaging modality, while magnetic resonance imaging and ultrasonography are utilized in specific cases. Early diagnosis and management are of critical importance in orbital and globe injuries. CT serves as the primary imaging method for both orbital evaluation and the assessment of injuries in other systems.
