Abstract

Occular or orbital injuries occurred among 7,3% if the total occupants in injury-producing accidents. The frequency of ocular or orbital injuries was nearly twice as great for front seat occupants as for rear seat occupants. Severs lacerations or disfigurements comprised 15,2% of all ocular-orbital injuries. When ocular injuries occurred, about 38% resulted in loss or impairment or possible loss or impairment, of vision. Among 22 fatalities with serious ocular injury, 21 suffered a fatal lesion to the head and in 17 of these cases ocular injury was related to the fatal head injury.
