Conclusions At our institution, a level-III trauma center, we evaluated and managed approximately 1 ocular injury case per week and children required surgical repair in the operating room at a higher rate than higher-level trauma centers. Injuries secondary to dog bites remain a clinically significant etiology. The purpose of this study is to describe pediatric ocular injuries presenting to a level-III pediatric trauma center and emergency department.
