The records of all 373 patients undergoing surgery for perforation of an eye at the 10 eye units in the Wessex Regional Health authority (except the Isle of Wight) during February 1980 to January 1984 were examined. There were 86 admissions as a result of road traffic accidents (RTAs), and 287 admissions arising from other accidents. The estimated annual incidence of perforating eye injuries as a result of RTAs has decreased by 73% following legislation for the compulsory wearing of seatbelts by drivers and front seat passengers. There is no evidence that this abrupt fall in the incidence of injury can be satisfactorily attributed to any other factor.
对1980年2月至1984年1月期间在韦塞克斯地区卫生局（怀特岛除外）的10个眼科单位接受眼球穿孔手术的所有373例患者的记录进行了检查。其中86例因道路交通事故（RTA）入院，287例因其他事故入院。在立法强制司机和前排乘客系安全带后，因RTA导致的眼球穿孔伤的估计年发病率下降了73%。没有证据表明这种伤害发生率的突然下降可以令人满意地归因于任何其他因素。
