Description

Given the trends in current warfare, conventional munitions -- esp. fragmentation devices -- will continue to cause a significant percentage of all injuries to soldiers, and a large number of those casualties will sustain eye injuries. Lasers (used both in current instrumentation and in offensive weapons) also have the potential to cause numerous eye injuries. The preservation of the eye and eyesight is of utmost importance. This book will aid in the early diagnosis and treat. of ocular injuries and prevent unnecessary blindness. Includes lessons learned from the Revol. War to the Persian Gulf War. Military ophthalmologists from the Army, Navy, and AF have shared their expertise in preparing this thorough, up-to-date textbook. Color and b and w photos and illustrations.
