TY - JOUR PY - 1976// TI - Penetrating eye injuries associated with motor vehicle accidents JO - Medical journal of Australia A1 - Briner, A. M. SP - 912 EP - 914 VL - 1 IS - 24 N2 - A 2 1/2-year review of penetrating eye injuries resulting from motor vehicle accidents and treated at the Princess Alexandra Hospital, Brisbane, is presented. The series dates from January 1, 1972, when legislation requiring the compulsory wearing of seat belts was introduced. The review shows a downward trend in injuries compared with the previous 6 1/2 years. Almost all the patients failed to wear a lap-and-sash seat belt or, if one was worn, it was not secured properly.
