Eye injuries in lacrosse: women need their vision less than men?

We describe four cases of ocular trauma incurred while playing women's lacrosse without eye protection. Women's lacrosse is potentially hazardous because, unlike men's lacrosse, helmets and face masks are not required. These ocular injuries could have been prevented with the use of protective eyewear.

[Experience with the organizational and medical support for emergency measures in eye injuries].

The paper generalizes the experience of work of an optimized variant of the system of urgent aid and treatment of patients with eye traumas, an ophthalmological centre, organized on the basis of the Department of Urgent/Ophthalmological Aid and the Department of Vitreo-Retinal Surgery. The authors describe results after IOL implantation in removal of traumatic cataract and treatment of corneal wounds, diascleral removal of foreign bodies, localized paramacularly, from the posterior segment of the eye the usage of extracapsular transmembranous dialysis of antibiotics for treatment of intraocular infection. All this allowed to essentially improve outcomes after severe eye traumas.

Laser eye injuries.

Laser instruments are used in many spheres of human activity, including medicine, industry, laboratory research, entertainment, and, notably, the military. This widespread use of lasers has resulted in many accidental injuries. Injuries are almost always retinal, because of the concentration of visible and near-infrared radiation on the retina. The retina is therefore the body tissue most vulnerable to laser radiation. The nature and severity of this type of retinal injury is determined by multiple laser-related and eye-related factors, the most important being the duration and amount of energy delivered and the retinal location of the lesion. The clinical course of significant retinal laser injuries is characterized by sudden loss of vision, often followed by marked improvement over a few weeks, and occasionally severe late complications. Medical and surgical treatment is limited. Laser devices hazardous to the human eye are currently in widespread use by armed forces. Furthermore, lasers may be employed specifically for visual incapacitation on future battlefields. Adherence to safety practices effectively prevents accidental laser-induced ocular injuries. However, there is no practical way to prevent injuries that are maliciously inflicted, as expected from laser weapons.
