abstract="Ninety-four cases of ocular blast injuries (122 eyes) were studied. Sixty-five per cent of the cases were between 15 and 25 years of age. The right and the left eyes were involved in 38% and 32% of the cases, respectively, while bilateral involvement was seen in 30%. Ninety of the eyes (74%) were blind. Twenty-one per cent of the patients with binocular injuries had bilateral blindness. Injuries of the iris, conjunctival and corneal foreign-bodies, and corneal and/or scleral lacerations were the most frequent types of injury seen.<p /><p>Language: en</p>",
