Objective To summarize the visual outcome of patients with severe ocular trauma treated with vitreous surgery. Methods Clinical data of 188(191 eyes) with severe ocular trauma treated with vitreous surgery in a period from November 1996 to April 1998 were analysed retrospectively. Results The study included penetrating injury in 56 eyes, foreign bodies in the posterior segment in 70 eyes, blunt injury in 41 eyes , and globe rupture in 24 eyes. Main complications included endophthalmitis in 35 eyes, choroidal bleeding in 20 eyes, retinal detachment in 60 eyes, and vitreous hemorrhage in 97 eyes. Post-opera-tively, out of 188 eyes, except for 3 of patients too young to examine, visual acuity improved in 133(70.7%), including 85(45.2%) with visal acuity 0.02-1.0, 46(24.5%) remained unchanged; and 9(4.8%) had worse vision. Among 34 with no-light-perception, 12 had light-perception or over. Conclusion A majority of severe trauma eyes can be salvaged with considerable visual recovery after adequate and timely vitreous surgery. (Chin J Ocul Fundus Dis,1999,15:4-6)
Objective To study the factors affecting the prognosis of vitrectomy in mechanically injured eyes. Methods One hundred and thirty-Seven eyes undergone vitrectomy were in cluded.Recorded to EPIINFO data base were visual acuity (VA) immediately after injury,type and location of injury,the interval from injury to surgical intervention,retinal detachment,basic surgical maneuvers,proliferative vitreo-retinopathy (PVR),stage of trauma,complications,final VA,and final retinal status.Data were analyzed by SAS. Results We got anatomic success in 107 eyes (75.9%).Final VA of 74 eyes (54.1%) were better than 0.02.Multiple-variable analysis showed that the factors significantly affecting prognosis of vitrectomied eyes of mechanical injury were retinal detachment (RD) before surgery,delay of surgical intervention,complexity of surgical maneuvers,complications after surgery. Conclusions RD before surgery,delayed surgical intervention,complexity of surgery and post vitrectomy complications are the most important factors contributing to the poor prognosis of VA and failure of surgery.

Objective To explore the therapeutic value and effects of relaxing retinotomy for perforating traction retinal detachment(PTRD). Method A retrospective survey was done in 21 patinets (21 eyes) with PTRD who underwent vitrectomy combined with relaxing retinotomy in our hospital from 1998 to 2001.Results The retinae were completely reattached in all 21 cases. The visual acuity of 12 patients (57%) was counting finger, and the best visual acuity was 0.05. Among the 18 patients who were followed up for 6 to 25 months, 14(77.8%) remained retinal reattachment. Conclusions Relaxing retinotomy is effective for anatomic reattachment of PTRD, especially to the patients with retinal incarceration and severe proliferative vitreoretinopathy.

The opportunity of vitrectomy for opening eyeball injury is one of the important factors affecting the prognosis. Anterior segment wound repaired by routine suturing needs following and continuous treatment with vitrectomy. The key technique of the following treatment should be the debridement of the inside of wound and expurgation of the surrounding tissues adjacent to the wound, and the emphasis should be put on retinal reattchment and stable repairment.
Open ocular trauma in children is one of the main causes of non-congenital monocular blindness in children. Children’s psychological and daily activities are different from those of adults; the eye tissue structure is not maturely enough, and the characteristics of high response to injury and incompatibility with various diagnostic and treatment methods determine the factors that cause injuries and injuries in children with open ocular trauma. The environment, diagnosis and treatment, and prognosis of children are more complicated than adults. For the emergency of first and second stage on diagnosis and treatment of children with open ocular trauma, it should follow the principles of adult open ocular trauma management, combined with the children's characteristics, clarifying the anatomical location of the ocular trauma before surgery, and closing the wound during the first-stage operation. At the same time, the disturbance of intraocular tissue should be minimized, the timing of the second stage operation and the individualization of the operation design, and the medication and care after the operation should also be combined with the characteristics of children. Prevention of ocular trauma in children is the focus of attention. In the new information era, clinical research and public information platforms should be fully utilized to advance the epidemiological study of children's ocular trauma and guide the construction of the prevention and treatment system for children's ocular trauma more scientifically.
Objective To observe the changes of electroretino gram(ERG) in temporary traumatic ocular hypotension and to detect the possiblem echanism. Method The rabbit model with ocular hypotenstion was made. At the 2nd, 4th, 8th, 16th week after trauma, the ocular tension and ERG was examined. Result Amplitude of b wave in treated group was 2.5 times as high as that in the control at the 2nd week after trauma, and then decrease to 1.5 times as high as that in the control at the 16th week. Conclution Higher amplitude of b-wave of ERG in rabbit with ocular hypotension may be related to blood circulation congestion, which might lead to accumulation of the metabolic toxin.

Objective To evaluate the effects of surgical treatment for severe ocular rupture with blood staining of cornea and non-light perception , and analyze the relative factors. Methods Seven severely rup tured eyes of 7 patients with blood staining of cornea and non-light perception underwent second-stage penetrating keratoplasty combined with vitrectomy using temporary keratoprosthesis. All injured eyes had blood staining of cornea, hemorrhage in anterior chamber and vitreous, and choroidal and retinal detachment before the second-stage surgery. The average interval of the two surgical stages was 18 days (12-21 days). The preoperative visual acuity was non-light percept ion in all injured eyes with the mean intraocular pressure of 3 mm Hg (1 mm Hg =0.133 kPa) (2-5 mm Hg).The mean follow-up period was 12 months (6-30 months). Results The postoperative visual acuity was better than light perception in 5 eyes with the best corrected visual acuity of light perception to 0.06. The retina was attached in 5 eyes (5/7). The mean postoperative intraocular pressure was 12 mm Hg(5-15 mm Hg)which was significantly higher than the preoperative one (Plt;0.05). Postoperative complications mainly included temporary intraocular hypertension (1 eye), corneal neovasculariza tion (4 eyes), cornea rejection (4 eyes), and ocular atrophy (2 eyes). Conclusion Penetrating keratoplasty combined with vitrectomy using temporary keratoprosthesis is a safe and effective method in treating severe ocular rupture with blood staining of cornea and non-light perception.
