The most commonly found functional sign was decreased VA in 100% of patients. The mechanism of injury was punching in 71%. Visual acuity was less than 1/20 in 9.7%. Contusion was the most commonly found trauma in 74.19% of cases, and conjunctival hyperemia was seen in 68.2% of cases. Eight patients (25.8%) had undergone surgical treatment. <br><br>CONCLUSION: Oculopalpebral trauma by domestic violence is serious. Both sexes can be victims.
