A retrospective study of 63 ocular alkali burn victims revealed that black males in the 30 to 49 year age group were at highest risk, and that the burns were most commonly sustained via assault. One hundred eyes were involved, and in 38 cases there was bilateral involvement. There were 116 hospital admissions and 125 surgical procedures, yet 58% of the injured eyes had a final visual acuity of less than 20/200. Other demographic and socioeconomic factors were characterized to identify this event as a public health problem with well-defined risk factors and unsatisfactory treatment. Primary preventive measures are, therefore, necessary.
一项对63名眼部碱烧伤患者的回顾性研究显示，30至49岁年龄组的黑人男性风险最高，且烧伤最常见于袭击事件。共涉及100只眼睛，其中38例为双眼受累。共有116人次住院和125次外科手术，但58%的受伤眼睛最终视力低于20/200。研究还对其他人口统计学和社会经济因素进行了分析，以确定这一事件是一个具有明确风险因素和治疗效果不佳的公共卫生问题。因此，初级预防措施是必要的。
