Eye injuries and prevention.
A disproportionate share of ocular and orbital injuries occur in children. This article reviews the evaluation and initial management of ocular trauma and chemical burns to the eye. Traumatic conditions are classified according to the particular area of the eye or orbit involved; chemical burns constitute a separate section. Sports-related injuries and their prevention are emphasized.
