Abstract

Young children have in common physical vulnerability, lack of coordination, and limited ability to avoid or escape from danger. Also young children show curiosity and a desire to explore, which may expose them to serious hazards. The epidemiological data varies from one part of the world to another. There was a significant increase in the pediatric portion of ocular trauma in Egypt compared to other studies. Wadeai et al noted an increase in the childhood trauma to the extent of 49.7% in the Egyptian population.
