[Restoration of retinal functional activity after surgical treatment of its detachment in patients with different eyeball injuries].

Nineteen case histories are analyzed: 1) 6 patients with postperforative detachment of the retina; 2) 8 patients with detachment of the retina after a penetrating wound with introduction of a foreign body; and 3) 6 patients with postcontusion detachment. The restoration of the alpha and beta ERG waves depended on the type of injury: after penetrating wounds, the changes in the retinal electrogenesis were the most manifest during the initial and early postoperative period; foreign bodies aggravated and decelerated the regeneration of visual function, contusion trauma of the eye is the most unfavorable factor complicating the restoration of visual functions; involvement of the paired (intact) eye is typical, as is changed functional reaction of the retina in injuries of all types.
