[Examination of the visual system in boxers].
Ophthalmological examinations were performed in 139 boxers. They showed that the injuries concerned most frequently the ocular adnexa and not the eye globe itself. Only two contestants who practiced boxing for more than 10 years exhibited peripheral opacities of the lens and pale foci with shifting of the pigment at the fundus periphery connected with a deepening of the filtration angle; this could be caused by a contusion of the eye. It was demonstrated that the introduction of safety helmets distinctly reduced the number of eye injuries in boxing.
