Fall-related OG injuries can lead to severe ocular morbidity especially in the elderly patients. They carry a worse visual prognosis compared with other injuries, which emphasizes on the importance of protective measures in this population.

Assault-related OGIs carry an extremely poor visual prognosis and a high rate of enucleations. Only eighteen eyes (12.2 %) recovered VA ≥ 20/40. We found initial VA of NLP and zone 3 injury to be significant predictors of final VA of NLP or undergoing enucleation. Penetrating injuries were less likely to have a final VA of NLP or an enucleation.
