There was a high incidence of ocular trauma (6.8% of all casualties) in the Lebanon War, 1982, which is similar to the rates in previous Arab-Israeli wars. Combat in the Lebanon War consisted of both armored warfare and infantry operations, with much of the fighting taking place in built-up areas. Consequently, there were two main types of ocular injuries: perforating eye injuries caused by the small high-velocity missiles that characterize armored combat, and a wide range of injuries to the eye caused by ricochets during combat in built-up areas. The latter injuries varied in severity from complete destruction of the eye to minor corneal erosions. Not a single eye was injured in soldiers who had ballistic protective goggles properly placed over the eyes at the time of injury. Most of the ocular trauma could have been prevented had the goggles been in universal use. A considerable degree of eye protection is also afforded by ordinary ophthalmic eyeglasses.
1982年黎巴嫩战争期间，眼外伤发生率很高（占所有伤亡人数的6.8%），这与此前阿以战争中的发生率相似。黎巴嫩战争中的战斗包括装甲战和步兵行动，大部分战斗发生在建筑密集地区。因此，主要有两种眼外伤类型：装甲战中典型的由小型高速导弹造成的眼球穿通伤，以及建筑密集地区战斗中由跳弹造成的各种眼部损伤。后一种损伤的严重程度各不相同，从眼球完全损毁到轻微角膜糜烂。在受伤时眼睛正确佩戴了防弹护目镜的士兵中，没有一只眼睛受伤。如果护目镜得到普遍使用，大多数眼外伤本可避免。普通眼科眼镜也能提供相当程度的眼部保护。
