| Abstract |
|
We implanted intraocular lenses in 41 eyes of 41 patients with traumatic cataract without associated retinal injury. All the enrolled patients had sustained injury visited the Incheon Gil Hospital between August 1988 and June 1992. We analyzed age and sex distribution, mode and site of injuries, associated injuries, postoperative complications, methods of operation, final visual results and causes of decreased vision. Nineteen patients(46.4%) achieved final visual acuity of 0.5 or better, 11 patients(26.8%) between 0.1 and 0.5, and the remaining 11(26.8%) below 0.1. Major visual prognostic factors were associated ocular injuries, the state of the posterior lens capule, intraoperative and early postoperative complications. The interval between the first and second operation had little effect on the final vision. |
