title: [Clinical analysis of 106 school-aged children with eye trauma].
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  To detect the characteristics of school-aged children with eye trauma for giving an appropriate way of treatment and prevention.
  
  
  METHODS
  One hundred and six cases (107 eyes) of school-aged children with eye trauma treated in our hospital in the last 7 years were analyzed retrospectively.
  
  
  RESULTS
  The main causes of trauma were playing plastic guns, firecracker and fireworks, scissors, or needle. Hyphema by ocular contusion or penetrating wound of cornea were often observed. The visual acuity of 44. 9% traumatic eyes was lower than 0.05 preoperatively and most of them (83.2%) recovered from blindness postoperatively.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  Eye trauma was severely harmful to school-aged children's eyes. Paying more attention to prevention and carrying out extensively popular education of eye protection were two important means to prevent children from injury.
