A clinical and demographic profile of 145 chemical eye injuries in 102 patients treated at a major referral centre of a developing country is analysed. The nature of the chemical agents, the occupation groups at risk and preventive measures for chemical injuries are emphasized. Forty-three patients (42.1 per cent) suffered bilateral injuries. Acids and alkalis together were responsible for 80 per cent of the chemical injuries. Young people working in laboratories and factories constituted two-thirds of the patients. Fifty-two eyes (35.9 per cent) suffered severe (Grade III/IV) injuries. Injuries caused by assault were more severe and proportionately lost more eyes. Visual outcome correlated with severity of injury at initial presentation.
分析了在一个发展中国家的主要转诊中心接受治疗的102例患者中145例化学性眼外伤的临床和人口统计学特征。强调了化学制剂的性质、高危职业群体以及化学性损伤的预防措施。43例患者（42.1%）遭受双侧损伤。酸和碱共同导致了80%的化学性损伤。在实验室和工厂工作的年轻人占患者的三分之二。52只眼（35.9%）遭受严重（Ⅲ/Ⅳ级）损伤。袭击导致的损伤更严重，相应地失明的眼睛更多。视力预后与初始就诊时损伤的严重程度相关。
