title: The immediate care of eye injuries.
abstract: The various types of injury which may occur to the eye are described. These may be easily missed altogether, or their extent not realised, unless great care and vigilance is exercised by those who first see the patient. Emphasis has been placed on the immediate care required and the urgency with which the different categories of injury must be referred to a specialist.
