Abstract

The authors present the frequency, clinical forms and therapeutic results of traumatic glaucoma in 511 injured eyes. Traumatic glaucoma was found in 6.6% of the injured eyes, more frequently in contusions than in perforating lesions of the eye. One third of the patients with traumatic glaucoma were blind and one half had visual acuity below 0.1. The time elapsed between the injury and the diagnosis of traumatic glaucoma ranged from 1 hour to 30 years.

[Loss of visual function as the result of gunshot injuries of the eye].

The article presents the clinical-and-statistical analysis of causes of visual function loss occurred after the gunshot injuries of eyes. The main cause of sight loss is the eye destruction as the result of gunshot injury (61.1%). Because of the unsuccessful treatment of posttraumatic changes in eyeball the injured eyes were removed in 38.9% of the casualties. In most cases the fragmentation and mine-explosive trauma were the cause of eye destruction. In the cases of eyeball destruction enucleation and evisceration were the main surgical interventions. In the therapy of posttraumatic changes in the injured eye (flaccid inflammatory process without tendency towards its resolution, painful syndrome as well as eyeball atrophy and subatrophy) enucleation was performed. Improvement of conservative methods in therapy of posttraumatic complications could contribute to decrease in the number of casualties with sight loss after the eye gunshot injures.
