PURPOSE: To determine the nature and types of @entity4858 . METHODS: The authors prospectively analyzed data of 100 consecutive @entity1 with @entity4858 (104 eyes) referred to the emergency room of Farabi Hospital during October 2003. Standardized international classification of @entity2194 (Birmingham Eye Trauma Terminology) was used for eye injury classification. RESULTS: @entity2194 represented 4.85% of all @entity2194 (2061 @entity1 ) referred to the emergency room during that period. Male to female ratio was 1.13 and mean age of @entity1 was 26+/-18 years (range, 1-73). @entity267 was involved in 50.0% and sclera, lens, and retina each was involved in 4.8%. There was severe @entity227 (best-corrected distance visual acuity <20/200 due to @entity130 ) in 4% of the @entity1 . The most frequent @entity4858 was @entity130 (93.7%) including mechanical (72.1% closed and 4.8% open), chemical (14.4%), and thermal (1.9%) injuries. CONCLUSIONS: Closed mechanical injuries were the most common type of @entity4858 in our series. Considering the high rate of domestic eye @entity130 among ocular emergency cases, more preventive measures should be taken at home.
