Abstract
To examine patient outcomes from golf-related ocular injuries. Retrospective case review of patients treated at the University of Michigan during the six-year period from November 1989 to October 1995. Of nine injuries treated in the six-year period, six of the patients with ocular injuries from golfing required enucleation. Seven of the injuries were from golf balls, and remaining two were injuries from golf clubs. Although unpredictable and difficult to avoid, proper golf etiquette and safety may diminish the incidence of golf-related ocular injures.
