ABSTRACT
A prospective study of 32 patients with perforating eye injuries caused by motor vehicle accidents, 24.32 of the 131 cases of perforating injuries admitted at the University of São Paulo Medical School Hospital from January to december, 1994 was performed. Most of the accidents occurred at night (68.75), and in urban areas (65.63). There were more male victims (65.63), mostly under 25 years of age (53.13). None of the victims were using seat belts and those in the front seats were more vulnerable. Safety precautions should be effectively in use in order to reduce frequency and morbidity of these injuries.
