To highlight external rear vision mirrors as a cause of ocular injuries in motor vehicle accidents.
Three cases of perforating eye injuries due to shattered external rear vision mirrors in motor vehicle accidents are described. The relevant Australian design rules are reviewed.
RESULTS/CONCLUSION: External rear vision mirrors can be responsible for serious ocular injuries in motor vehicle accidents. Further investigation of the incidence of such injuries is required to determine whether vehicle manufacturing methods and the design rules covering their production warrant revision.
强调外部后视镜是机动车事故中眼部损伤的一个原因。
描述了3例机动车事故中因外部后视镜破碎导致的眼球穿通伤病例。回顾了澳大利亚相关的设计规则。
结果/结论:外部后视镜可能导致机动车事故中的严重眼部损伤。需要进一步调查此类损伤的发生率,以确定车辆制造方法及其生产所涵盖的设计规则是否需要修订。
