Blast Injury Prevention Standards Recommendation (BIPSR) Process: Ocular Blast Injury Type

Abstract

The BIPSR Process is designed to identify and objectively evaluate the details of candidate blast injury prevention standards to determine their suitability for use by the DoD in health hazard and survivability assessments, as well as in protection system development. While current Ballistic Eyewear Standards provide guidance on protection against shrapnel and ballistic threats, existing criteria reviewed as a part of this initial literature review indicate that guidance focuses on managing threats, rather than injury prediction. BIPSR Process Stakeholders may want to consider tissue tolerances to blast exposure and the mechanical response of ocular structural tissue.
