Abstract:
We analysed 265 eyes (242 cases) of perforating ocular injuries who were admitted to Wonju Christian Hospital during the period from March 1983 to February 1988. Of 265 eyes(242 cases) with perforating ocular injuries repaired during this period, no eyes(41.5%) were excluded from this study due to incomplete charting(86 eyes), complication with intraocular foreign bodies(13 eyes) and including in this study. The most significant predictors of good visual outcome were good initial visual acuity and the length of ocualr laceration. But the others were not statistical significant predictors of visual outcome(direction and location of laceration, etc). Lacerations involving only the cornea were the most frequent(53.2%). The most common cause of low vision(=0.1) was traumatic cataract(47 cases) and followed by corneal opacity(42 cases). The statistical analysis of this report was based on a chi-squre test and correlation.
