“ANALYSIS OF OCULAR INJURIES BY ANATOMICAL STRUCTURES IN FORENSIC MEDICINE”
Abstract
Injuries to the organ of vision occupy one of the leading positions among damages identified in both clinical and forensic medical practice. According to the World Health Organization (WHO), approximately 55 million people annually experience various types of eye injuries, and about 1.6 million of them completely lose their vision as a result of trauma [17]. Given the high social and economic significance of this problem, as well as its legal implications, issues related to the accurate determination of the nature, mechanism, and severity of ocular injuries are a priority for forensic medical experts.
