Notes: Detailed breakdown ofclinical findings reported on incident questionnaires. n= number of patients displaying each feature; *% shown as a proportion of whole sample. Many patients presented with multiple injuries in the same segment of the eye; number of injuries reported therefore exceeds total number of patients in the sample.
Abbreviation: IOP, intraocular pressure.
