Contusion cataracts may develop long time after injury, without visible lens changes in the interval. The lens opacities appear like those known in senile cataracts if the eye was injured after the 45th year of age. Demonstration of other traumatic changes becomes then very important for the evaluation of the role of the accident as a cataract cause. As late sequelae of eye (and orbit) contusion, enophthalmos and supersensitivity of the pupil to adrenergic drugs can be found. Ultrasound exophthalmometry proved to be more accurate for checking the former than Hertel's optical exophthalmometry alone. The pupil was studied by the reaction following local instillation of one drop of 1% adrenaline solution (comparison with other eye). The results found in 2 patients are described.
