[Clinical aspects of tear gas burns on the cornea (author's transl)]. 1981

H Bleckmann, and C Sommer

A report on the consequences of tear gas burns on the cornea and other extraocular and intraocular injuries sustained by 45 patients. Forty burns were caused by pistol shots, while five of the patients treated had burns from tear gas sprays. This report covers the distribution of the patients according to age and sex and described changes in central visual acuity. Differences in the type of injury according to the cause (explosive or aerosol) can be demonstrated: aerosol burns had less severe consequences. Twelve of the 45 patients were followed up.
