[Eye protection for servicemen under battle conditions by the use of special glasses].
The paper substantiates a possibility of eye protection for military men in combat with special glasses and corrective spectacles. It shows that explosive shrapnel wounds dominate over the gunshot ones of visual organs. In the overwhelming majority of cases they are produced by small splinters with kinetic energy less than 18 J. It is found that the high-impact resistant polymeric optical material can be used for effective eye protection, which should result in a considerable reduction of eye wounds.
