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 observe the clinical efficacy of external-route microsurgery for retinal detachment (RD). Methods In 36 patients (36 eyes) with single rhegmatogenous RD, the silica gel piece and/or buckling bands were preplaced, and drainage of subretinal fluid, retinal cryotherapy, e xamination of locating the holes, and intraocular injection of gas were performe d under surgical microscope. The surgical effects were compared with those of ot her simultaneous 37 patients with rhegmatogenous RD who underwent surgery under binocular indirect ophthalmscope. Results The simultaneous intraoperative observation of the fundus details and the sclera through the microscope was excellent in all cases. Under the surgical microscope, the reaction of r etinal cryotherapy was clearly visible without any serious surgical sequela. The observation of reaction of retinal cryotherapy and the orientation of the holes were not affected by mild opacity of the refractive media. Retinal reattachment was achieved in 31 eyes after the primary surgery and in 3 eyes after the secon dary surgery, with the final rate of rettachment of 94%. The best-corrected vi sual acuity was <0.1 in 6 eyes (16.7%), 0.1-0.4 in 15 eyes (41.7%), and ≥ 0.5 in 15 eyes(41.7%). The results were similar to those of the patients underwent surgery under indirect ophthalmoscope.Conclusion The external route microsurgery is simple, convenient, reliable, and effective.

The authom analysed the predisposing factors for macular pucker(MP) after retinal dotachment surgery.Thirteen clinlcal risk factors correlated with the development of MP were identified, As the incidence related to various factors was compared with reported in the literature,the most significant 3 risk factors of MP were: the obvious hemorrhage accumulated in maeular area, the macular hole treated with diathernly,and the patient lay on one's back for approximately 2 weeks during postoperative retard absorption of subretinal fluid in the eyes with preoperative PVR,This suggested that the direct or indirect damage of maeular area was the major cause of development of MP.

Vitrectomy and silicone oil injection were performed for treatment of 43 patients with complicated retinal detachment (RD, n=21 ) or subsequent atrophia bulbi (AB, n=22). Retinal reattachment was achieved in 14 (66.7%) of 21 patients with RD, including 11 with idiopathic proliferative vitreoretinopathy (PVR),6 with traumatic PVR, 3 with congenital uveal coloboma or Marfan syndrome. The visual acuity was better than 0.05 in 7(50%) of successful cases,and better than 0.02 in 11 (78.6%).Only 6(27.3%) patients had retina reattached with visual improvement in 22 cases of AB, including 13 of traumatic PVR,8 of idiopathic PVR.However,the intraoccular pressure was stable and shrinkage of the globe was controlled in 21 (95.5%) of 22 patients with AB.The results indicate that silicone off injection following vitrectomy may provide advanced severe PVR with a chance of successful treatment.
