Patient?s age, gender, duration of hospitalization, type\n   of treatment and initial and final visual acuity were analyzed. RESULTS:\n   Overall 92 patients with ocular injuries caused by airsoft gun pellets were\n   hospitalized in tenyear period. In all patients only one eye was injured and\n   there were 72 (78.3%) male patients. Injuries involved ocular adnexa,\n   anterior and posterior segment of the eye. On initial examination 41 (44.6%)\n   patients were presented with subconjunctival hemorrhages, 42 (45.6%) with\n   corneal abrasion, 42 (45.6%) patients had corneal edema, 6 (6.5%) had\n   traumatic mydriasis, 90 (97.8%) patients exhibited hyphema, 10 (10.9%)\n   iridodialysis, in 27 (29.3%) patients high intraocular pressure (IOP) was\n   measured, one patient had subluxation of intraocular lens (IOL) and one\n   patient had traumatic cataract. Posterior segment findings included vitreous\n   hemorrhage in 3 (3.3%) patients, retinal hemorrhage in 15 (16.3%) patients,\n   retinal edema in 35 (38.0%) patients and one patient had globe rupture.\n   Average duration of hospitalization was 5.7 days (range from 1 to 18 days).\n   Three patients (3.3%) required eye surgery, eight patients (8.7%) had\n   anterior chamber washout while rest of the patients were conservatively\n   managed. Visual acuity at hospital release was significantly improved\n   comparing to initial visual acuity, ranging from counting fingers at 1 meter\n   to 20\/60 in 7 (8.6%) patients, from 20\/50 to 20\/30 in 13 (16.0%) patients and\n   from 20\/25 to 20\/20 in 61 (75.3%) patients. In 11 patients testing the visual\n   acuity was not possible because of their young age. CONCLUSION: Injuries\n   attributed to airsoft guns were confined mostly to anterior segment. There\n   was also high percentage of severe posterior segment trauma requiring\n   hospital admission. The most important factors in preventing such injuries\n   are restricting access to airsoft guns, especially to minors, as well as\n   mandatory use of protective equipment such as protective eyeglasses.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.2298\/aci1203073j","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2013,4,22]],"date-time":"2013-04-22T07:44:02Z","timestamp":1366616642000},"page":"73-76","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":11,"title":["Ocular injuries caused by airsoft guns: Ten-year experience"],"prefix":"10.2298","volume":"59","author":[{"given":"Milos","family":"Jovanovic","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Faculty of Medicine, Belgrade + Clinical Centre of Serbia, Clinic for Eye Diseases, Belgrade"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Anica","family":"Bobic-Radovanovic","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Faculty of Medicine, Belgrade + Clinical Centre of Serbia, Clinic for Eye Diseases, Belgrade"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Dragan","family":"Vukovic","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Faculty of Medicine, Belgrade + Clinical Centre of Serbia, Clinic for Eye Diseases, Belgrade"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Miroslav","family":"Knezevic","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Faculty of Medicine, Belgrade + Clinical Centre of Serbia, Clinic for Eye Diseases, Belgrade"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Dusica","family":"Risovic","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Faculty of Medicine, Belgrade + Clinic for Eye Diseases Clinical Center \"Zvezdara\", Belgrade"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"1078","container-title":["Acta chirurgica Iugoslavica"],"original-title":[],"language":"en","deposited":{"date-parts":[[2023,5,26]],"date-time":"2023-05-26T12:10:05Z","timestamp":1685103005000},"score":1,"resource":{"primary":{"URL":"https:\/\/doiserbia.nb.rs\/Article.aspx?ID=0354-950X1203073J"}},"subtitle":[],"short-title":[],"issued":{"date-parts":[[2012]]},"references-count":0,"journal-issue":{"issue":"3","published-print":{"date-parts":[[2012]]}},"URL":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.2298\/aci1203073j","relation":{},"ISSN":["0354-950X","2406-0887"],"issn-type":[{"value":"0354-950X","type":"print"},{"value":"2406-0887","type":"electronic"}],"subject":[],"published":{"date-parts":[[2012]]}}}
