To study the pattern of ocular involvement in RTA , critically analyse and correlate various factors playing etiological roles.The Study Was Conducted at a Tertiary Care Centre in which retrospective analysis of 500 cases, who sustained injury involving any part of eye due to Road Traffic Accidents attending Emergency Department from 1st January 2014 to 31st December 2016 , was performed. The predominant age group was between 21-30 yrs of age with males (75.2%) and females(24.8%) respectively. Lid injury is the commonest presentation in majority of the cases. RTA are more common in rainy and winter months , in day hours and in some particular road stretches. Driving two wheeler under the influence of alcohol was rampant which calls for rigorous implementation of traffic rules. Improvement in road design and public sensitisation to safety procedures will help reduce such incidents.
