Objective:
To determine prognostic factors and visual outcomes in patients with intraocular foreign bodies (IOFBs) associated with traumatic cataract.
Participants:
19 patients undergoing surgical removal of IOFB and cataract extraction with a minimum of 6-months follow-up.
Outcome Measures:
Final best corrected visual acuity was the main outcome where ocular findings at presentation were compared with final visual acuity to determine prognostic factors for visual outcome.
Results:
Final best corrected visual acuity of > 6/30 was obtained in 12 patients (63.2%) and functional vision (> 1.5/60) was achieved in five patients (26.3%).
Conclusion:
Final visual outcomes were found in 63.2% of patients. Initial visual acuity was the strongest predictor of final visual outcome in this study. Additional predictive factors included the mechanism of injury and the presence of vitreous hemorrhage.
