AB Ocular  trauma,  which  occurs  in  many  different  circumstances  and  by  a  variety  of  mechanisms,  is  an  important  cause  of  avoidable  severe  visual  impairment  at  all  ages,  and  it  is  the  leading  cause  of  monocular  blindness  in  young  adult  men  in  the  United  States.  Thorough  but  safe  clinical  assessment,  supplemented  when  necessary  by  imaging,  is  crucial  to  effective  management.  Ocular  damage  and  the  possible  need  for  early  assessment  by  an  ophthalmologist  need  to  be  borne  in  mind  in  the  assessment  of  any  patient  with  mid-facial  injury.
