The most common cause of unilateral blindness in pediatric age groups, especially in developing countries, is ocular trauma. The epidemiology of eye injuries varies in different parts of the world and different age groups and depends on many factors including life style, socioeconomic status, traffic state, sport and creative activities and type of registration and recording of data. About half a million people in the world are blind as a result of eye injuries. About 30-40% of monocular blindness is due to ocular trauma
