Description
Author: Jared Scott, M.D. Educational Pearls BB gun eye injuries are most common in August and September. They most often happen to males aged 16-17 year old. Around 10% of the BB eye injuries lead to eye loss. Accidental firearm injury is common in children and is a common cause of mortality. One-third of homes with children have a firearm. Most accidental pediatric gun injuries happen to young, male children with guns owned by family members. It is important to educate gun owners about proper gun storage.
