[Assessment of injuries to the lids and lacrimal apparatus--catamnestic investigations (author's transl)]. 1980

L Mewe

An investigation of consultancy work at Münster University Eye Hospital from 1967 to 1977 showed that 84% of all cases seen arose from accidents. Unilateral and bilateral lid injuries with injuries to the lacrimal system are statistically less important for the assessment of damage due to accidents. Although both lid injuries and injuries of the lacrimal apparatus very often occur together with perforating eye injuries they are only important in 2% of all assessments of accident damage.
