AIM: To analyze the related factors of eye trauma, and provide local epidemiology information.

METHODS: Totally 1137 ocular trauma patients who lived in the ophthalmic in-patient department from January 2007 to December 2011 were chosen. The statistic analysis on general characteristic, injuries causes, prognosis and complications was done.

RESULTS: The ratio of male to female was 4.77:1. The peak ages were 20-49 years. The major occupational groups are manual workers such as workers and farmers. The top two causes of injury were contusion and perforating injuries. The highest average rate of blindness was from perforating injuries(45.65%). There was no significant differences between adjacent annual in injury causes constitutes(χ²=14.586, P=0.367). Most of the compositions were mixed, and the top three of them were traumatic cataract, hyphema and uveitis.

CONCLUSION: In order to reduce ocular trauma blinding rate, we should raise the awareness of the prevention of eye injuries, and provide the timely treatment to ocular trauma patients.
