Retinal Detachment after Open Globe Injury

Successful Management in a Case of Traumatic Retinal Detachment due to Open Globe Injury Using Microincisional Vitrectomy

BACKGROUND Retinal detachment (RD) following ocular trauma often results in guarded visual prognosis and sometimes leads to loss of the eye. With the advent of microincisional vitrectomy surgery and the development of surgical techniques, the management of ocular trauma has been transformed. CASE PRESENTATION A 34-year-old man sustained an open globe injury from fragmented glass at work. He r...

Remarkable visual recovery after severe open globe injury

Purpose To describe a case of remarkable visual recovery after severe open globe injury. Observations We present a case of a 70-year-old man with an open globe injury with no light perception vision before and after primary repair of his ruptured globe and before secondary vitreoretinal surgery to repair a total retinal detachment with a 360° giant retinal tear and retinal incarceration in a ...

Diplopia after retinal detachment surgery.

Diplopia following retinal detachment usually responds to simple measures. Fifteen out of 311 cases developed diplopia lasting more than three months after conventional retinal detachment surgery. Binocular single vision was restored in 12 of the 15 cases (80%). The mean follow-up was four years. Diplopia was eliminated stepwise. If prisms were ineffective, our first surgical procedure was remo...

Microbial contamination in open globe injury.

INTRODUCTION Endophthalmitis is the most dreaded complication of ocular trauma and knowledge of the microbial contaminants is essential to start empirical antibiotic therapy. PURPOSE To determine incidence of contamination after open globe injuries (OGI) in our setup and to identify the spectrum of microorganisms contaminating open globe injuries. MATERIAL AND METHODS A prospective study in...
