A retrospective survey was done of all ocular and adnexal trauma cases seen at a large metropolitan hospital during a 6-month period. By determining patient demographics, causes of the eye injuries, and extent of ocular damage, the authors hoped to delineate areas where preventive measures might decrease such trauma. Demographic and clinical data on 1132 patients were analyzed. Most patients were in the first three decades of life and were male. Blunt trauma was the most common type of injury. Assault was the most common cause and accounted for the highest number of serious injuries. Eye injuries associated with violence are difficult to prevent using conventional strategies that are usually effective in the home and workplace.
对一家大型都市医院在6个月期间诊治的所有眼及附属器外伤病例进行了回顾性调查。通过确定患者人口统计学特征、眼外伤原因和眼损伤程度，作者希望明确哪些领域采取预防措施可能会减少此类创伤。分析了1132例患者的人口统计学和临床数据。大多数患者年龄在三十岁以下，且为男性。钝挫伤是最常见的损伤类型。袭击是最常见的原因，导致的重伤数量最多。与暴力相关的眼外伤难以通过通常在家庭和工作场所有效的传统策略来预防。
