Approximately half of all patients who present to an eye casualty department do so because of ocular trauma. In Scotland, the cumulative incidence of ocular trauma requiring admission is 8.14 per 100,000 of the population annually. Over 10% of these people will lose useful vision in the injured eye. This review discusses the mechanisms of ocular trauma, its management and potential outcomes, and the changing trends in the pattern of ocular injuries.

Eyelid burns may cause irreversible damage to the eyelids and eye globe. We review 45 patients with eyelid burns, in 8 of whom skin grafting was required due to the deepness of the burn. The results were satisfactory in all except 1, in whom 9 surgical procedures were required to give complete coverage of the cornea. During 1 procedure skin was grafted directly onto the conjunctiva. The other 36 patients were treated conservatively.
