AT the request of the Committee on the Causes and Prevention of Blindness appointed by the Ministry of Health I made an enquiry into all cases of eye injury admitted as indoor patients to the Ophthalmic Department of the Glasgow Royal Infirmary during the five years 1909-1913 inclusive. The cases numbered 927. For the purpose of this paper I extended the enquiry back to June, 1908, so as to have a total of 1000 cases. The above years were chosen as " normal" years unaffected by the war.
