One year of severe eye injuries in sport
1Manchester Royal Eye Hospital.
Abstract:
A one year prospective study was undertaken to assess all sports injuries requiring inpatient treatment at Manchester Royal Eye Hospital. (1 January to 31 December 1987.) Fifty two patients were admitted (25.1% of all admissions due to trauma). Racquet sports accounted for 51.9% of these cases. Eight patients required 12 surgical procedures and there were 3 perforating injuries. Sport is becoming an increasingly important cause of severe eye injury and the encouragement of adequate ocular protection is now a matter of urgency.
