title: Electrodiagnosis and ultrasonography in the assessment of recent major trauma.
abstract: This paper reports a prospective study of 47 eyes with opaque media after recent major ocular trauma which were assessed by measurement of visual acuity, electroretinography, visually evoked response, and ultrasonography. The results of each method of assessment were analysed as indiced of prognosis for visual recovery. Each method of examination proved of value for prognosis, and a combined assessment using all the methods together was of special value.
