    Summary
    This summary is machine-generated.

    Vitrectomy for double perforating eye injuries yielded moderate visual outcomes, with 34% achieving 5/10 or better. Early vitrectomy showed no significant benefit, and pre-operative factors influenced final results.

    Area of Science:

    • Ophthalmology
    • Traumatic Eye Injury Management

    Background:

    • Double perforating eye injuries are severe trauma.
    • Vitrectomy is a surgical option for these injuries.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To report outcomes of vitrectomy for double perforating eye injuries.
    • To evaluate the effect of early vitrectomy.

    Main Methods:

    • Retrospective analysis of 41 consecutive cases.
    • Vitrectomy performed between December 1975 and December 1982.

    Main Results:

    • 34% achieved visual acuity of 5/10 or better.
    • 56% achieved visual acuity of 5/200 or better.
    • 68% developed retinal detachment; 12 successfully reattached.

    Conclusions:

    • Pre-operative visual function and injury type significantly impact outcomes.
    • Early vitrectomy (within 14 days) did not demonstrate a beneficial effect.
