[Etiology and incidence of amaurosis in war injuries of the eye].

Retrospective analysis of the medical documentation of 506 wounded treated at the Ophtalmological Clinic of the Military Medical Academy, was used to separate the cases where, due to the injury, the eyesight was destroyed or reduced to "the sense and projection of the light". The groups were formed according to the mechanism of injury and etiological factor. In 41.03% of eyes described sight impairment was established on admission, and the perforative injury of the eye was the basic etiological factor in 64.26% of the cases.
