Abstract

The authors evaluated the sequelae of 200 eye injuries based on forensic attests during the investigation period from 1983-1997. The group comprised 166 men and 34 women, mean age 37.5 years, incl. 25 children under 18 years. They classified the injuries in-to groups with regard to their origin and mechanism. Attention was paid to evaluation of visual acuity at distance, the number of operations of the eyes and the authors classified the group with regard to ophthalmological diagnosis and complications. The mean period of hospitalization was 32.8 days, the mean period of work incapacity 117.7 days. In the whole group there were 75 monoculi, 6 bilaterally blind subjects, one quarter had 6/6 vision on both eyes. Almost half the injured subjects had a reduced work capacity, there were 66 partial invalids, 22 full invalids, 13 subjects had an altered work capacity. The discussion is focused on better collaboration of the ophthalmologist and physician assessing the work capacity in evaluation of permanent sequelae of eye injuries.
