Injuries to the eyes occupy a leading place among other causes of visual impairment and account for 16.7% of
the primary disabled persons with a range of 3% to 28.6%. Visual impairment remains one of the causes of
blindness and disability. Prevention of eye injuries is one of the priority areas of reasonable health care and
goes far beyond purely ophthalmic problems. To study a complex of factors that cause visual impairment and
its complications. Materials and methods. The research was conducted among the population of the Fergana
Valley. A total of 1861 maps of patients with ocular trauma were reviewed and copied. Results. Domestic
traumatism was registered with the same frequency among both men (42.9%) and women (43.6%). Industrial
injuries were almost 1.2 times more frequent among men than among women. Street injuries were 1.3 times
more prevalent among surveyed women than among men. Metal fragments are the most frequent wounding
objects in industrial injuries. Dust (28.0%), burns (18.2%), and wooden objects (11.5%) are the most common
type of injury. Children's eyes are damaged by dust (19.8%), wood (20.2%) and burns (10.7%). Visible injuries
were more common in summer (32.4 per cent), slightly less common in spring (29.8 per cent) and winter
(26.5 per cent), and most rarely in autumn (11.3 per cent).
