Significant demographic differences were identified in OGI patients that underwent primary enucleation versus repair with regard to age, sex, race, the geographic location of hospital admission, mean length of hospital stay, type of ocular injury, and other ocular complications. Most pediatric traumatic enucleations between 2002 and 2014 were reported in teenagers (16-20 age group), in males, and in Blacks.
