New Zealand adult ocular trauma study: A 10-year national review of 332 418 cases of ocular injury in adults aged 18 to 99 years.

Adults with the highest risk of ocular injury are rural males aged 20 to 29 years. Protective eyewear use is uncommon in adults presenting with ocular injury and the majority of injuries are managed in primary care. Promotion of appropriate injury prevention strategies is an important public health message.
