abstract="OBJECTIVE: A review of ocular injury related to mass disaster over the past 25 years, including injury type, treatment, and final visual outcome. DESIGN: Retrospective review. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: Injury types, treatment, and final visual acuity. RESULTS: Acts of terror and war result in significant and increasingly more common ocular injury. Natural disasters were much less likely to cause lasting or permanent injury. CONCLUSIONS: Final visual acuity was rarely reported. Primary prevention is superior to treatment in acts of war and terror. Ocular injury is rarely reported by first response to natural disaster.<p /> <p>Language: en</p>",
