[Accidents in the ocular area in children. An epidemiologic study and the medicosocial implications].

The authors have studied 202 ocular accidents with children, with a special insistence on epidemiology and medico-social implications. The accidents entail three important factors: the person liable to have an ocular accident, the agent provocateur, and a favourable human-social context. These factors were deeply analysed through a lot of parameters in a correlative manner. The authors demonstrate that the representative accidents are not usually unforeseeable incidents but they are avoidable and they have a prophylaxis with large means that can be applied. There were also attacked medico-social implications of the ocular accidents with a special insistence on the potential of invalidating consequences.
