Part of the EyeSmart Campaign
The fifth-annual Eye Injury Snapshot has concluded. Thanks to all who submitted data! Your help made this one of our most successful years ever, with more than 750 reports received. Given the annual number of eye injuries, we are confident that this increased number reflected not an increase in injuries but participation.
Full analysis of the 2008 Eye Injury Snapshot results has now been posted. Return to this page in early 2009 to learn how you can participate in the next Eye Injury Snapshot.
Learn how the EyeSmartâ„¢ campaign is using these results and other findings to raise awareness of eye injuries.
About the Project
The Eye Injury Snapshot is an annual study conducted by the American Academy of Ophthalmology and the American Society of Ocular Trauma to identify the nature and prevalence of eye injuries. It has been conducted each year since 2004.
