A STUDY OF EFFECTIVINESS OF OCULAR PROTECTION

Dr Aditi Dusaj, Dr V K Baranwal

Abstract :

 There was a high incidence of ocular trauma during combat operations all over the world not only during war but also during counterinsurgency. The incidence of combat ocular trauma varies from 2% in World War I and II to 13% in desert storm and Kargil war. No figures are available for ocular injuries during counterinsurgency operations. Most of the injuries to eye were caused by the small high velocity splinters characteristic of artillery fire and improvised explosive devices (IED). Most of the ocular trauma could have been prevented had the goggles been in use. A considerable degree of eye protection is also afforded by ordinary ophthalmic eye glasses.
