title: [Change in the etiology and sequelae of severe eye injuries. A comparison of 197 personal patient admissions with other reports from the literature].
abstract: The spectrum of severe eye-injuries has clearly changed. We have analysed the documents of 197 patients treated in our clinic from 1988-1990. Of 119 (60.4%) contusions and 78 (39.6%) perforating injuries only 25.3% were occupational accidents. A more detailed analysis showed above all an increase of sport- and leisure-injuries and a considerable decrease of traffic-injuries (4.6%). Shocking is in contrast the percentage (10.7%) of severe injuries by brutality. More details concerning the consequences of injuries are presented and compared with older statistics. From this conclusions are drawn for better prophylaxis.
