Eye Injury Risk Functions for Human and FOCUS Eyes: Hyphema, Lens Dislocation, and Retinal Damage

Abstract

The following report presents the results from all tasks from the study Eye Injury Risk Functions for Human and FOCUS Eyes: Hyphema, Lens Dislocation, and Retinal Damage. The study was a subtask of continued efforts under the research program Head-Neck Injury Prevention: Biomechanical Analysis of the Eye, Face, Brain, and Neck, which was a Cooperative Agreement with the U.S. Army Aeromedical Research Laboratory, Warfighter Protection Division (now the Injury Biomechanics and Protection Group). This study had two main primary objectives. The first objective was to develop injury criteria and confidence intervals for closed globe eye injuries such as hyphema, lens dislocation, and retinal damage. The second objective of this study was to develop injury criteria for these same injuries that apply to the FOCUS (Facial and Ocular CountermeasUre Safety) headform. These two objectives would enhance the ability of the FOCUS to predict and in turn prevent eye injuries from occurring in military combat.
