AB  - Worldwide  1.6  million  people  are  estimated  to  be  blind  from  ocular  trauma  and  another  19  million  people  suffer  from  severely  impaired  vision  in  one  eye  due  to  trauma.1  Published  literature  from  England  looking  at  15  years  of  more  than  39,000  patients  treated  for  major  trauma  found  that  2.3%  of  patients  had  associated  ocular  injuries.  Given  that  the  eyes  represent  only  0.27%  of  the  total  body  area,  it  is  a  curious  phenomenon  that  the  eyes  are  affected  so  often.  In  this  series,  the  most  common  injuries  involved  the  cornea,  optic  nerve,  conjunctiva,  and  sclera.2
