AB  - Purpose: To examine the epidemiologic and clinical characteristics of ocular 
      injuries and their association with socioeconomic status (SES).Material and 
      Methods: All cases of ocular injuries hospitalized in Department of Ophthalmology 
      of University Clinical Center Tuzla, Bosnia and Herzegovina, from January 2009 to 
      December 2012 and January 2017 and December 2019 were prospectively followed. The 
      injuries were classified according to Ocular Trauma Classification System (OTCS) 
      and Birmingham Eye Trauma Terminology (BETT).Results: This study included a total 
      of 420 eyes from 396 patients. There were 162 (38.57%; 95%CI: 32.86-44.99) open 
      globe injuries (OGI) and 258 (61.43%; 95%CI: 54.16-69.4) closed globe injuries 
      (CGI). The decrease in incidence of ocular trauma requiring hospitalization was 
      noted from 16.7 per 100 000 (95%CI: 13.11-20.97) in 2009 to 9.25 per 100 000 
      (95%CI: 6.64-12.55) in 2019 (p=0.006). Most injuries occurred in males 341 
      (81.19%; 95%CI: 72.8-90.28), active working patients 258 (61.43%, 
      95%CI:54.16-69.4), and patients with rural residence 285 (67.86%; 95%CI: 
      60.21-76.21). Almost all ocular injuries 418 (99.52%; 95%CI: 90.21-109.54) 
      occurred in patients with middle and lower SES categories, and home was the most 
      prevalent place of injury in 258 (61.43%, 95%CI: 54.16-69.4) patients. The total 
      of 289 (70.49%; 95%CI: 62.59-79.1) patients had good final best corrected visual 
      acuity (BCVA). Poor final BCVA was associated with lower ocular trauma score 
      (OTS) (p=0.000), poor initial BCVA (p=0.000), penetrating injuries of cornea 
      (p=0.004) and sclera (p=0.001), Zone III injuries (p=0.000), intraocular foreign 
      body presence (p=0.000), cataract (p=0.002), retinal detachment (p=0.001), 
      endophthalmitis (p=0.000) and vitreous hemorrhage (p=0.010).Conclusion: This 
      study provides a detailed insight into epidemiology and socio-economic 
      characteristics of patients hospitalized for ocular injuries.
