Most ocular injuries involve only the external eye. However, in approximately one-third of cases the intraocular structures are damaged with potentially sight threatening consequences. A small number of sports, such as soccer, rugby, hockey and the racquet sports are responsible for most injuries. Sport is responsible for between 25-40% of all eye injuries severe enough to require hospital admission. Most of these are recognised as being largely preventable and methods of reducing the number and severity of such injuries are of prime importance.
大多数眼部损伤仅涉及外眼。然而，约三分之一的病例中，眼内结构受损，可能会对视功能造成威胁。少数运动，如足球、橄榄球、曲棍球和球拍运动，是大多数眼部损伤的主要原因。运动导致的眼部损伤约占所有严重到需要住院治疗的眼部损伤的 25-40%。这些损伤大多是可以预防的，减少此类损伤的数量和严重程度至关重要。
