Prognostic factors affecting functional and anatomical outcome in globe injuries

To analyze prognostic factors associated with functional and anatomical results in closed globe injuries (CGIs) and open globe injuries (OGIs). One hundred and twenty patients who applied due to globe injuries were retrospectively examined in terms of prognostic factors affecting final visual acuity (FVA). The demographic features and clinical characteristics of the patients were evaluated in various parameters. Most traumas were open globe injuries (82.50%) and occurred at work (50%). CGIs had better baseline visual acuity (BVA) values and also showed better FVA outcomes. Among patients with OGIs, Intraocular foreign body (53.33%) and penetrating (36.11%) OGIs had the highest ratios for FVA ≥ 1/10. Eyes with zone II + III wounds had a tendency of FVA [Med-Science 2021; 10(3.000): 804-11]
