[Simultaneously corneal laceration repair, traumatic cataract removal and intraocular lens implantation]
1Department of Ophthalmology, Xiangya Hospital, Hunan Medical University, Changsha, 410008, China.
Objective:
The study aimed to evaluate the outcome of patients who undrwent simultaneously corneal laceration repair, cataract extraction and posterior chamber lens implantation.
Methods:
Traumatic cataract extraction and posterior chamber intraocular lens (PC IOL) implantation were performed in 36 eyes of 36 cases with corneal laceration. YAG laser was the postoperative procedure for embrane before the lens and after cataract. Penetrating keratoplasty was performed for central cicatrice of cornea. All the patients have been followed up for 3-12 months.
Results:
The postoperative visual acuity s.c. was 0.1-0.3 in 8 cases(22.8%), 0.4-0.5 in 14 cases (40%) 0.6-0.8 in 13 cases (37.1%) on following up. There were no serious complication attributable to PC IOL implantation.
Conclusion:
As long as the range of surgical indication was known well, PC IOL implantation can get good clinical effects at the time of primary repair.
