Purpose:
Evaluation of visual acuity results and analysis of influencing factors after vitrectomy surgery to treat complications of nuclear fragment fall at the Vietnam National Eye Hospital.
Patients And Methods:
A cross-sectional study description of 35 patients (35 eyes) at Vietnam National Eye Hospital assessment of Visual acuity pre and post-pars plana vitrectomy, and some related factors.
Results:
Patients had low visual acuity (VA) upon admission, with 82.9% (29/35 eyes) ranging from CF 1m to LP (+). At 3 months, VA mainly improved to levels 3 and 4, with only 3/35 eyes achieving better than 20/40. The primary factors influencing visual outcomes were anterior segment lesions, timely detection, and treatment to enhance postoperative vision.
Conclusion:
After PPV, most patients showed some improvement, though changes in VA varied among individuals. Key factors affecting visual outcomes included anterior segment lesions, highlighting the importance of timely detection and treatment to improve postoperative vision.
