**Traumatic retinopathy (Purcher syndrome)** is a pathological process in the choroid of the eye that occurs after blunt and contusive injuries to the organ of vision. As a result, damage to the central zone and periphery of the visual system leads to a decrease in visual acuity and partial or complete loss of light sensitivity in the damaged eye. The development of symptoms is possible not only in the first days and months after injury, but also many years later. The causes of development are: venous hyperemia; exudation; ischemia.

Predisposing factors are atherosclerosis, diabetes mellitus.
