Sažetak
Authors analysed the most often and dominating psychic disturbances of wounded persons with eye injuries. They concluded that the war experiences in noticing and taking care of this kind of disturbances are very rare. All the wounded persons who arrived on Department of Ophtalmology, Osijek General Hospital have been hospitalized in this department. Appropriate treatment lias been taken after the kind of injury was determinated upon anamnestic and hethero data, and by the ophtalmological examination. Psychiatrist then takes psychiatrical interview to determine dominating psychic symptoms, using partly earlier classification of the most occuring psychical symptoms (3). In this work author found majority of male (84%) comparing to female (16%) included examination, who have been classified according cronological order (age) and participation in war (police, Croatian Amry, soldiers in reserve and civilians). They classified injuries as perforative and unperforative, they also concluded prevaliation of unperforated injuries and that this happens mostly amongst civilians. They found out inprovement of complex sight which was 38% on the average at the end of the treatment. The largest percentage of wounded people were civilians (73,3%), most of them were wounded by the morter shell, a bit less of them were Croatian soldiers (57,9%), soldiers in reserve (50%). The most often psychic disturbance among wounded people with eye injuries authors found to be anxiety (72,3%), concentration disturbances (61,7%), fear and sensitivety to noise in the same percentage (56,3%), which acknowledges, also, the observations of other authors (3, 4, 5). Dream disturbances are dominating symptoms among civilians (60%), while soldiers in reserve suffer from concentration disturbances (65,6%). Other psychic symptoms are less noticable. Authors conclude that there is a great deal of psychic symptoms among wounded people with war eye injuries. They found out the necesserity of holding to a war doctrine in taking medical care as well as need of earlier including of psychiatrist in taking care which helps for earlier return of wounded wariers back to their units, and faster social and labour functioning of wounded civilians.
