Abstract |
We have evaluated our clinical results of the traumatic cataract operations in 109 patients, 112 eyes. Group 1 (72eyes) was defined that the best corrected vision was 0.1 or better at the final follow up visit, group 2 (40 eyes) less than 0.1 vision. And we have analyzed the predictors of the visual outcome. Average age of patients was 33 years old and male were 89 patients, female 20. The most significant predictors of good visual prognosis were left eye among both eyes, good initial visual acuity, presence of anterior capsular rupture, but absence of hyphema, iris prolapse into the wound, vitreous prolapse into the anterior chamber, lens subluxation or dislocation. It was not statistically significant with final corrected visual acuity that were type and location of injury, location and extent of corneal laceration, method of cataract extraction and timing of intraocular lens implantation. |
