There was a higher number of female than male bystanders (63% versus 51%, p\u00a0=\u00a00.30). 50% of the eyes sustained mild, 13% moderate and 37% severe trauma. Adults suffered more from severe injuries compared to children (42% versus 31%). The most frequent intervention was gunpowder removal (20%), followed by traumatic cataract surgery (12%) and amniotic membrane grafting (8%). 76% of patients were followed over 1\u00a0year. At the end of follow\u2010up, 88 (61.5%) eyes had recovered fully, while 55 (38.5%) eyes suffered from persistent complications with reduced vision \u22640.8 in 30% of injured eyes. 15 patients (12%, 10 adults, five children) were considered legally blind (vision \u22640.1).
