The cause of eye injury in various services may be different. Preventing the injury according to the cause would be more effective. We investigated 502 (549 eyes) cases of ocular injury in 21 military hospitals in China. Sports-related injury was the first cause of ocular injury (181/502, 36.1%), and it was more often seen in navy and air force personnel. A total of 69.1% of sports-related ocular injuries were caused by playing basketball and 18.8% by playing football. Work-related injury was the second cause (140/502). The highest ratio of work-related injury was in the surface warship force (31/67, 46.3%). The ratios of military training-related injury in the army and armed police were 21.4% and 21.3%, respectively, but it is only 4.4% in the navy. The analysis of training subjects showed that about 49.2% of injuries occured during skill training, such as parachuting and operating firearms, and 29.5% occurred during physical exercise or counter-acting exercises. We also found that the ratio of sports-related injury increased and military training-related injury decreased with the level of education. |
