N2  - Clinical observations of 426 patients with blunt injuries to the eye (records of Moscow Ophthalmological Clinical Hospital) showed that eyeball contusions were responsible for 40.57% of hospital injuries, 364 cases (85.54%) were communal traumas and 22.77% criminal. The most frequent complication of blunt injury to the eye was hemorrhage to the anterior chamber (57.57%). Total or almost total hyphemas were observed in 5.83% cases, in 0.7% with repeated hemorrhages. Hemorrhages into the vitreous body were observed in 36.6% patients. Postcontusion opacities and retinal edemas were diagnosed in 25.87% cases. The most severe contusions of the eyeball with ruptures of fibrous membrane were observed in 19.11% cases, 6.29% of these along the postoperative cicatrix. Subdislocation or dislocation of the lens took place in 13.75% cases. Blunt injury to the eye resulted in alteration of ophthalmic tone presenting as reactive hypertension (22.33%), reactive hypotone (11.19%), secondary hypertension (17.01%), and stable hypotone (5.59%). By discharge from hospital visual functions improved in 72.73%, visual acuity of 0-0.03 diopters was observed in 14.92% and 0.4-1.0 in 63.87% cases. Secondary hypertension persisted in 1.86% and stable hypotone of the injured eye in 5.13% cases.<p /> <p>Language: ru</p>
