Analysis of Ocular Firework-Related Injuries and Common Eye Traumata: a 5-year Clinical Study.

Conclusions The number of injured eyes in the two subgroups of fireworks and violence was twice as high around New Year's Eve than around the Swiss National Day. If the two events were combined, eye injuries were caused by an act of violence in 45 % and by fireworks in 55 % of cases. Injuries from fireworks can be decreased by professional fireworks. Both types of accident can be decreased by public awareness. PMID: 28282696 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
