description Abstract Objective This study aims to analyze the magnitude and temporal trend of work-related eye injuries (WREI) among Social Security beneficiaries in Brazil, between 2003 and 2019. Method Ecological time series study using data from work accidents involving insured individuals in the General Social Security System in Brazil. To calculate the Annual Percent Change (APC) of temporal trends in the incidence rate of WREI in the country, by the cause/situation of the injury, the Prais–Winsten method was used. Results With an average of 16,845.18 cases per year and a total of 286,368 (2.72%) records over the historical series, work-related eye injuries ranked 13th among the most affected topographies by work accidents. 165,909 recorded cases involved the ICD-10 related to eye injuries, with the most frequent condition being ICD-10 T15 (n = 83,240; 50.21%). The total incidence remained stable throughout the period, varying from 3.91 per 10,000 insured individuals in 2003 to 3.78 in 2019 (APC = −0.96%). However, there was a decreasing trend in commuting accidents (APC = −3.78%) and occupational diseases (APC = −3.50%). Conclusion WREI presented a stable incidence trend over the period, with a decrease in injuries during commuting and occupational diseases. Clinical trial number: Not applicable.
