Abstract

PURPOSE: To investigate the clinical characteristics and therapeutic effects of vitrectomy in patients with perforating eye injuries with foreign bodies at the exit wound in the posterior global wall.

METHODS: Fifty-two cases, diagnosed with perforating eye injury with foreign bodies at the exit of the posterior global wall and admitted to our hospital between June 2010 and June 2013, were enrolled in this study. All patients underwent vitrectomy and removal of intraocular foreign bodies and were followed up for 6 to 24 months. The causes of injuries were analyzed and postoperative visual acuity and overall treatment efficacy were evaluated.

RESULTS: Intraocular foreign bodies were successfully removed in all cases. The incidence of postoperative complication was low. Among 52 subjects, 46 showed alleviated symptoms after treatment with an overall efficacy of 88.46%.

CONCLUSION: Perforating eye injuries combined with residual foreign bodies in the posterior global wall are commonly observed in young people who perform physical labor. Vitrectomy has a high efficacy for the treatment of perforating eye injuries complicated with foreign bodies located at the posterior global wall, with a low incidence of postoperative complications.
