title: [Experience in rendering ophthalmological care to the wounded].
abstract: Medical losses from ophthalmological injuries inflicted by small arms were from 2.2 to 4.5%, and taking into account concomitant injuries--up to 5.6%. Frequently there were binocular lesions, perforating wounds and destructions of eyeballs. Complicated ophthalmological operations were performed on patients who simultaneously had severe injuries of extremities, chest, abdomen, etc. Vitrectomy was a basic stage in the treatment of eye-penetrating wounds. Application of active measures for management of ophthalmological wounds at the stages of medical care made it possible to improve the outcome of treatment, diminish the frequency of purulent complications, for example endophthalmitis by 2 times.
