AB  - PURPOSE: To evaluate demographics, characteristics, and outcomes of open-globe 
      injuries (OGIs) in motor vehicle accidents (MVAs). METHODS: Retrospective chart 
      review of patients with OGIs related to MVAs that presented to University 
      Hospital, Newark, from 2000 to 2012. RESULTS: Twenty-five patients were 
      identified; the average age of the patients was 33.3 years old (range, 5-75). The 
      majority of patients (64 %) were males. The 25 vehicles comprised 24 automobiles 
      and one motorcycle. Ten patients (40 %) wore seatbelts, and five (20 %) did not 
      wear seatbelts. The seatbelt status was not documented in the remaining cases. 
      Ethanol was documented as a contributing factor in five of the accidents. In 
      terms of open-globe classification, 15 OGIs (60 %) were ruptures, and five (20 %) 
      were penetrating injuries; three (12 %) had intraocular foreign bodies. Ten eyes 
      (40 %) had a final VA of 20/400 or worse. Fourteen eyes (56 %) achieved a final 
      VA of 20/200 or better; seven eyes (28 %) achieved a final VA of 20/40 or better. 
      CONCLUSION: Fifty-six percent of eyes with an open-globe injury related to MVAs 
      achieved a final VA of 20/200 or better in this series. No eyes developed 
      endophthalmitis.
