Abstract:
Introduction: Cataract and vitreous opacification caused by ocular injury results in significant visual loss. Objectives: to evaluate the initial outcome of patients with ocular blunt or penetrating trauma who underwent trans pars planar vitreo-lensectomy and posterior chamber intra ocular lens insertion. Comment on the indications and applications of surgical techniques. Subjects and method: In this prospective randomized study, a total of 30 patients (30 eyes) with blunt/penetrating ocular trauma were assessed using X-ray and ultrasound in the Trauma Department of National Institute of Ophthalmology, from December 2005 to August 2006. Results: 30 patients (28 men and 2 women) with an age range from 3 to 45 years. Penetrating injuries are more common than blunt ones. The cornea is the most common site of injury (73.3%). Conclusion: Intraocular lens were implanted at the time of trans pars planar vitreo-lensectomy can provide a reasonable restoration of visual acuity and binocular function.
