Abstract
A variety of injuries to human eyes from the energy unleashed by blast waves are called ocular blast injuries (OBI). OBIs are common during warfare and in peacetime. According to the study of 199 globe penetrating wounds in the military operation in the southwest border area of China, the incidence of retinal blast injuries is 21.6%, while OBIs at ordinary times are more frequently seen in explosive accidents, and the incidence is up to 30–50% among people injured by setting off fireworks and the blast of small quantities of high explosives. The eye can be injured either from the effect of blast waves or due to foreign bodies (FB) thrown up by explosions, such as dirt, grit, stone, or fragments of explosive.
