    Area of Science:

    • Ophthalmology
    • Surgical Techniques

    Background:

    • Ocular trauma presents significant challenges in treatment.
    • Conventional surgical methods are not always suitable for severe ocular injuries.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To evaluate the efficacy of vitreous surgical techniques in patients with ocular trauma.
    • To identify factors influencing the outcomes of vitreous surgery for ocular trauma.

    Main Methods:

    • Retrospective analysis of 103 consecutive patients with ocular trauma.
    • Vitreous surgical techniques were employed for patients ineligible for conventional surgery.
    • Data collected included injury characteristics, surgical timing, and follow-up duration (12-60 months).

    Main Results:

    • Vitreous surgery was performed on patients with severe ocular trauma.
    • Follow-up averaged 22 months, with a range of 12 to 60 months.
    • Analysis focused on the impact of injury timing, location, severity, and other factors on surgical results.

    Conclusions:

    • Vitreous surgical techniques can be applied to a specific group of ocular trauma patients.
    • Further analysis is presented on factors affecting the success of vitreous surgery in this cohort.
