N2  - We reviewed 41 children with penetrating eye injuries from birth to 15 years of age between August 1982 to May 1990. Male to female ratio was 3.56:1. Thirteen (33%) cases resulted in monocular blindness. The distribution of penetrating injuries was based on the site of perforation: corneal, corneoscleral and scleral groups. The commonest cause of injury was child related from a thrown object (42%) and hazardous toys (21%).<p /> <p>Language: en</p>
