[Contusion of the eye--secondary glaucoma and other late consequences (author's transl)]

24 patients were re-examined 19--20 years and another 37 patients 10--11 years after blunt injury to the eye. 24 eyes showed marked angle rears but there was not a single case of glaucoma. In case of initial a. c. hemorrhage these tears are significantly more ofter seen. 9 of the injured eyes had a reduction of visual acuity to 0.5 or less as a consequence of lens or central fundus changings.
