AB  - OBJECTIVE: To summarize clinical characteristics of mechanical ocular injury and 
      to analyze the role of ocular trauma score (OTS) in the estimation of final 
      visual acuity. METHODS: All cases of ocular trauma admitted to the Department of 
      Ophthalmology from January 2009 to December 2010 were retrospectively reviewed. 
      Data extracted included laterality of the injured eye, gender, age, presenting 
      time, cause, ocular trauma classification, initial and final visual acuity. These 
      injuries were classified by ocular trauma classification system (OTCS). We also 
      used the OTS in evaluating the final visual outcome. Comparisons between groups 
      for discontinuous variables were analyzed using rank-sum test. Rank correlation 
      was used in analysis between initial visual acuity and final visual acuity or 
      between final visual acuity and OTS. Chi-square test was used to analyze 
      variables, such as age, cause, type and visual acuity. Comparison of ages between 
      male and female was analyzed by using t-test. RESULTS: Of the 168 eyes, there 
      were 106 open globe injury (OGI) and 62 closed globe injury (CGI). There were 140 
      males (85.71%) and 22 females (14.29%). Presenting time median of OGI and CGI was 
      5 h and 10 h respectively, and there was significant difference between these two 
      different injuries (Z = -2.547, P = 0.011). The high-risk age group was the young 
      age group (100 eyes, 59.52%), vs. the middle age group (46 eyes, 27.38%) and the 
      elder age group (22 eyes, 13.10%). Occupation-related injury (70 eyes) was the 
      most common cause and mainly resulted in OGI (54/70). Initial and final visual 
      acuities in CGI were better than those of OGI (chi(2) = 37.847, P = 0.000; chi(2) = 
      44.428, P = 0.000). Initial visual acuity was correlated with final visual acuity 
      (r = 0.858, P = 0.000). Final visual acuity was significantly correlated with 
      total score (r = 0.870, P = 0.000) and OTS (r = 0.869, P = 0.000). CONCLUSIONS: 
      In this group of mechanical ocular trauma patients, male is more common than the 
      female. Main type of injury is OGI and presenting time of OGI is earlier than 
      that of CGI. The high-risk age group is the young. Main cause of injury is 
      occupation-related injury. Initial and final visual acuities in CGI are better 
      than those in OGI. OTS calculated at initial examination may be a useful 
      parameter for the estimation of prognosis.
