The authors analyze the problem of intraocular correction in patients with penetrating missile wounds of the eyeball. A total of 292 patients were examined; besides clinical, electrophysiologic and ultrasonic methods were used, as well as endothelial microscopy. In cases with nonremoved intraocular foreign bodies x-ray examination and computer tomography were employed. The patients were divided into 2 groups. Group 1 (n = 195) included patients with posttraumatic cataracts and a history of removed foreign body, Group 2 (n = 97) consisted of those with posttraumatic cataracts and a foreign body present in the eye. Traumatic cataract extraction was performed in all the patients. Implantation of an intraocular lens was found possible in 43 patients (18 ones from Group 1 and 25 from Group 2). Basing on clinical experience gained in the management of these patients, the authors have defined the indications for intraocular correction in this patient population.

D014792	Visual Acuity	Clarity or sharpness of OCULAR VISION or the ability of the eye to see fine details. Visual acuity depends on the functions of RETINA, neuronal transmission, and the interpretative ability of the brain. Normal visual acuity is expressed as 20/20 indicating that one can see at 20 feet what should normally be seen at that distance. Visual acuity can also be influenced by brightness, color, and contrast.	Acuities, Visual,Acuity, Visual,Visual Acuities
