Method for express diagnosis of mechanical corneal injury using infrared spectroscopic analysis of tear fluid is proposed. Differential diagnosis of open and closed corneal injuries in absence of clinical data is presented. Clinical material is provided by patients with open globe injuries--25 patients (25 eyes) and 25 patients (25 eyes) with closed globe injuries. 20 healthy adults (40 eyes) were included into the control group. Proposed method allows to develop treatment strategy, determine extent of surgical interventions in corneal trauma and predict the course of posttraumatic process and complications as well.
