Abstract

We analyse eye injuries in 50 miners who came to our Eye Hospital following an accident involving a defective high pressure hose. Depending on the nature of the accident we can distinguish 3 types, correlating with the severity of the injury. The majority of cases presented primarily as blunt bulbus traumata. Severe sequelae consisted of lens opacities and retinal damage. We discuss methods of prevention.
