Abstract

This study analyses all patients presenting with eye complaints to the casualty section of a Brisbane Hospital during a one month period. Eye complaints constituted 3.6 per cent of all patients. A foreign body was involved in 57 per cent of all eye injuries. The patients were subject to a trial assessing the effectiveness of antibiotic treatment following removal of the foreign body. There was no significant difference between antibiotic and placebo (sterile saline).
