Bilateral ocular shotgun injury.

R E Morris, C D Witherspoon, R M Feist

    American Journal of Ophthalmology
    |May 15, 1987
    PubMed
    Summary

    Bilateral ocular shotgun injuries often result in poor visual prognosis. Severe tissue damage, optic nerve, or macula injury significantly limits vision recovery, more so than retinal detachment.

    Area of Science:

    • Ophthalmology
    • Trauma Surgery

    Background:

    • Bilateral ocular shotgun injuries are severe and can lead to significant vision loss.
    • Understanding visual prognosis and contributing factors is crucial for patient management.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To determine the overall visual prognosis for patients with bilateral ocular shotgun injuries.
    • To identify factors influencing individual visual outcomes in these patients.

    Main Methods:

    • Retrospective study of 14 patients with bilateral ocular shotgun injuries.
    • Analysis of visual acuity outcomes and correlation with injury characteristics.

    Main Results:

    • Only 29% of eyes (8/28) achieved visual acuity of 20/100 or better.
    • 43% of patients (6/14) recovered at least 20/100 vision; 57% (8/14) recovered at least 20/400.
    • Severe ocular disorganization or direct optic nerve/macula injury limited vision in 80% of eyes not reaching 20/100.

    Conclusions:

    • Extensive ocular disorganization, optic nerve/macula injury, initial no light perception, and multiple pellet injuries predict poor visual outcomes.
    • Retinal detachment and double perforating injuries were not found to be predictive of poor outcomes in this series.
