ABSTRACT
The problem of an increasing percentage of severe trauma among military and civilian personnel has become particularly important. Injury to the organ of vision as a result of a mine-explosive injury is the most severe injury among polytrauma and requires specialised care by a team of doctors. It is very important to adhere to the algorithm of actions for both pre-hospital and highly specialised care to preserve the life and functional fullness of the injured person. The paper presents a brief description of the problem and an analysis of approaches to providing specialised care for eye injuries resulting from mine-blast trauma.
