Severe injuries of the eyes and the periocular region may happen to those people, not secured by a safety belt, while the head crashes against the windshield in case of a car accident. These injuries typically run across the nose, the front and the eyelids, while other parts of the face are often not involved. Besides these wounds, the eyes show corneal and scleral perforations, loss of lens and iris as demonstrated by some victims of traffic accidents. Studies have shown that the most serious head- and eye-injuries occur to people in a frontal collision, which is the most common type of collision. On the other hand, the risk to be injured at the head or the eyes in a frontal collision while using the safety belt is under 1%.
在车祸中，如果未系安全带，头部撞向挡风玻璃时，眼睛及眼周区域可能会受到严重损伤。这些损伤通常贯穿鼻子、前额和眼睑，而面部其他部位通常未受影响。除了这些伤口，一些交通事故受害者的眼睛还出现了角膜和巩膜穿孔、晶状体和虹膜缺失的情况。研究表明，最严重的头部和眼部损伤发生在正面碰撞中，而正面碰撞是最常见的碰撞类型。另一方面，在正面碰撞中使用安全带时，头部或眼睛受伤的风险低于1%。
