Abstract：
OBJECTIVE: The purpose of this study was to analyze the prevalence of ocular defect among different age groups, gender, side involved, and etiology.
METHODS: A retrospective study was conducted among referred ocular defect patients in a dental college in southern part of India over a 5 years period (2008-2012). Information regarding general identification, gender, age, affected side, and etiology was collected. The collected data were analyzed and grouped according to different age groups, gender, side involved, and etiology.
RESULTS: The ocular defects were more frequently observed in the young male population (66%). Trauma (46%) and pathogenic (44%) causes were the main reasons over nonspecific (8%) and congenital (2%) reasons.
CONCLUSIONS: High prevalence of injuries and infections in young adults (mostly males) predominantly causing ocular bulb loss.

摘要：
目的：本研究的目的是分析不同年龄组眼缺损的患病率，性别,一方参与,和病因。
方法：对印度南部一所牙科学院的转诊眼缺损患者进行了5年（2008-2012年）的回顾性研究。关于一般识别的信息，性别,年龄,患侧,并收集病因。对收集到的数据进行分析,并按不同年龄段进行分组,性别,一方参与,和病因。
结果：在年轻男性人群中更常见眼缺陷（66％）。创伤（46％）和致病（44％）原因是非特异性（8％）和先天性（2％）原因的主要原因。
结论：年轻人（大多数是男性）的损伤和感染发生率很高，主要导致眼球脱落。
