Abstract

Approximately half of all patients who present to an eye casualty department do so because of ocular trauma. In Scotland, the cumulative incidence of ocular trauma requiring admission is 8.14 per 100,000 of the population annually. Over 10% of these people will lose useful vision in the injured eye. This review discusses the mechanisms of ocular trauma, its management and potential outcomes, and the changing trends in the pattern of ocular injuries.
