title: [Analysis of 84 ocular disability cases in traffic accident].
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  To study the injury modes, the injury characteristics, the disability grade assessments and other relative problems in eye injuries after traffic accidents.
  
  
  METHODS
  Eighty four ocular disability cases after traffic accidents collected from March 2007 to March 2009 in our institute were retrospectively analyzed. Then to study the ocular disability reasons, the assessment time and methods.
  
  
  RESULTS
  The main cause of ocular disability is visual dysfunction, and the other causes for example eyeball missing, injury of eyelid, injury of lacrimal apparatus, traumatic cataract and defect of visual field were rare relatively. Most ocular injuries happened to single eye. The disability grades were often from VII to X.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  The accuracy of visual function expertise could be improved by using some tests and visual electrophysiological measurements. The vision and ophthalmology data before the injury of the wounded who has intrinsical disease should be provided. The assessment time should be delayed for people whose visual function still may change.
