    Author: Grin TR, Nelson LB, Jeffers JB.
    Journal: Pediatrics; 1987 Jul; 80(1):13-7. PubMed ID: 3601512.
    Abstract:
    A 3-year survey was conducted of all children with eye injuries admitted to Wills Eye Hospital to determine demographic, etiologic, and prophylactic factors. There were 278 cases, representing 22% of all ocular injuries in children requiring admission. The frequency of childhood ocular injuries is high, often resulting in serious visual impairment. Many of these injuries are preventable. The causes of pediatric eye injuries and preventive measures are discussed.
