Abstract
Objective To analyze the causes and clinical characteristics of visual lesion in occupational ocular trauma. Methods Medical records of 102 cases with occupational ocular trauma from June 2008 to March 2009 were reviewed retrospectively for the analysis of the causes and clinical characteristics of visual lesion. Results There was 102 cases ( 109 eyes) occupational ocular trauma, in which 95 cases (102 eyes, 93.14%) were male and 7 cases (7 eyes, 6.86%) were female. The age ranged form 18 to 87, with a mean age of (40.16 ± 12.25) years. Mechanical ocular trauma accounted for the large proportion (88.07%).
