Data regarding demographics, causative agents, severity of injury, visual acuity (VA), and treatment were collected and analyzed.<\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>\n \n Results:<\/jats:title>\n \n Males were more commonly affected particularly among adults (81% versus 64%,\n P<\/jats:italic>\n < 0.00001). Among children, 79% sustained domestic injuries, whereas 59% of adults had work-place injuries (\n P<\/jats:italic>\n < 0.0001). Most cases were due to alkali (38%) and acids (22%). Edible lime (chuna, 32%), superglue (14%), and firecrackers (12%) in children, and chuna (7%), insecticides, lye, superglue (6% each), toilet cleaner (4%) and battery acid (3%) in adults, were the main causative agents. The percentage of cases with Dua grade IV-VI was greater in children (16% versus 9%;\n P<\/jats:italic>\n = 0.0001). Amniotic membrane grafting and\/or tarsorrhaphy were needed in 36% and 14% of affected eyes in children and adults, respectively (\n P<\/jats:italic>\n < 0.00001). The median presenting VA was logMAR 0.5 in children and logMAR 0.3 in adults (\n P<\/jats:italic>\n = 0.0001), which improved significantly with treatment in both groups (\n P<\/jats:italic>\n < 0.0001), but the final VA in eyes with Dua grade IV-VI burns was poorer in children (logMAR 1.3 versus logMAR 0.8,\n P<\/jats:italic>\n = 0.04).\n <\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>\n \n Conclusion:<\/jats:title>\n The findings clearly delineate the at-risk groups, causative agents, clinical severity, and treatment outcomes of AOB. Increased awareness and data-driven targeted preventive strategies are needed to reduce the avoidable ocular morbidity in AOB.<\/jats:p>\n
