Harris Classification

The Harris Classification is a system used by doctors to categorize eye injuries based on their severity and location. It helps in understanding how serious an eye injury is and guides treatment decisions. The system considers factors like whether the injury involves the front or back of the eye, and whether the eye's structures are intact or damaged. By classifying injuries this way, healthcare providers can communicate more effectively about the injury, predict outcomes better, and plan appropriate care. It’s a useful tool for standardizing the assessment of eye trauma in clinical practice.
