Best corrected visual acuity(BCVA) values were recorded using standard Snellen acuity chart and were converted to logarithm of the minimum angle of resolution(log MAR) scale for statistical analysis. The visual outcome was defined by the final BCVA(excellent visual outcome: final BCVA of 20/40 or better;poor visual outcome: final BCVA less than 20/200). Statistical analysis of collected data was performed using IBM SPSS Statistics version 23. A 2-tailed P value of less than 0.05 was considered statistically significant throughout the study. RESULTS: The average age ranged from 1 to 79 years old(mean age, 34.8±12.7 SD) and the majority of patients were men(626, 93.6%). The major cause of ocular injury was hammering(383, 57.2%). Almost all the patients(97.8%) underwent surgeries(97.8%) and the average time interval between injury and surgery was 26.4±322.3 d(0-7300), while 327 patients received surgeries within 24 h(48.9%) and 590 patients received surgeries within seven days(88.2%) after IOFBs injury. The poor BCVA was associated with older age(P=0.013), larger IOFBs size(P<0.001), presence of complications(P<0.001) and worse presenting BCVA(P<0.001). On the contrary, younger age(P=0.005), smaller IOFBs size(P<0.001), absence of complications(P<0.001) and better presenting BCVA(P<0.001) were considered to relate to excellent BCVA.CONCLUSION: Multiple prognostic factors may influence the final visual outcome, including age, size of IOFBs, complications and presenting BCVA. Meanwhile, further education and promotion on eye protection should be taken for the improvement on self-protection and selfhealth awareness.展开更多

The purpose of this study was to evaluate a new method of 3-dimentional(3D) localization of IOFBs that takes advantage of the anatomical structure of the optic nerve and to assess the clinical outcomes using this new method. Twenty-two trauma patients with IOFBs or suspected IOFBs admitted to our hospital were scanned with multislice CT(MSCT) between July and December 2003. All scanning was performed with a 16-row spiral CT in axial plane using a sequential scanning protocol. During the scanning, the eyeball of the patient was kept stable and was not allowed to rotate internally or externally. Section collimation was set at 16 mm × 0.75 mm. Table feed was 12 mm. Reconstruction index was 0.75 mm. After scanning, the reconstructed images were loaded into a workstation to create the multiplanar reconstruction images with the aid of the 3D software. We compared the localization results with the operative findings. Multiplanar reconstruction images showed IOFBs in all 22 patients. IOFBs occurred in the eyeball of 14 patients, in the wall of the eyeball of 5 patients and in the posterior orbits of 3 patients. Different surgical procedures were designed according to the localization by this new method and all IOFBs were successfully removed. All of these foreign bodies were metallic and the localization of IOFB using MSCT was consistent with that found by operative findings. It was suggested that MSCT is a simple and effective imaging modality for the localization of IOFBs. In our study, we localized the IOFBs more quickly and accurately by taking advantage of the fixed position of the intraocular segment of the optic nerve, and determined the necessary surgical parameters.展开更多

The lens of each injury eye was conserved. Follow-up observation of these cases ranged from one to four years.Results: The intralenticular magnetic foreign bodies of 15 patients were successfully removed.The lens of each injury eye was conserved and the transparence of the lens was properly maintained. Sizes of these foreign bodies were measured, ranging from 0.3 mm to 3mm in diameter. The follow-up observation showed that the corrected visual acuity of 14 cases was not changed after operation.Conclusions: The intraocular magnet is very helpful for removal of magnetic foreign bodies from the transparent lens. This magnet allows removing of the foreign body by the surgeon and no damage to the lens was induced during the operation. Thus, maintenance of visual acuity of most of the patients can be achieved.展开更多

Then IOFBs were approached and backsiphoned by using self-made backsiphon syringe needles which were selected according to the size and shape of IOFBs. The IOFBs are removed with the inflow of sodium hyaluronate naturally surging into the needles.Results: Posterior polar IOFBs in 13 cases (13 eyes) were all removed successfully at one time. There were no accidental injuries or complications. The postoperative vision in 11 cases (11 eyes) was improved, unchanged in 1 case (1 eye) and decreased in 1 case ( 1 eye).Conclusions: The technique using viscoelastics to dissociate, suspend and backsiphon IOFBs during the removal of the posterior polar IOFBs can evidently decrease operative difficulty, injury and complications.展开更多

METHODS:Thirty-six patients of MIOFD with endophthalmitis accorded with Exclusion and inclusion criteria were retrospectively analyzed. A detailed analysis of the patients' natural factors, preoperative examinations, intraoperative endotamponades choice, postoperative complications and therapeutic effects was performed. RESULTS: BSS was used in 4 eyes without obvious retinal damage. There was no postoperative complication and their visual acuity (VA) was improved. Sixteen eyes that had mild retinal damage filled with C3F8 gas. The postoperative VA improved in 10 eyes (62.5%), 4 eyes (25.0%) remained unchanged and 2 eyes (12.5%) decreased. Only 2 cases occurred postoperative retinal detachment in gas group. Another 16 eyes with serious retinal damage were treated with silicone oil. Postoperative VA of 9 eyes (56.3%) improved, 3 eyes (18.8%) remained unchanged and 4 eyes (25.0%) decreased. The silicone oil group had higher incidence of postoperative complications, but the incidence of secondary treatment had no significant different between silicone oil and gas group. CONCLUSION: An appropriate choice of endotamponades in vitrectomy surgery for MIOFB with endophthalmitis is important for prognosis.展开更多

Twenty eyes in group A received the conventional approach by using toothed forceps through corneal limbus incision, and 22 eyes in group B underwent the novel method through the opposite corneal limbus incision. RESULTS:The success rate of ACFB once removal was 75%(15/20) in group A, and 100%(22/22) in group B. The average operation time of group A was significantly longer compared with group B(34.9±9.88 min vs 22.13±8.85min; P〈0.05). The average size of corneal limbus incision in group A was significantly larger than that of group B(4.85±1.89 mm vs 3.95±1.17 mm; P〈0.05). The corneal limbus incision suturing were conducted in all eyes in group A, and only 5 eyes in group B. CONCLUSION:Removal of ACFB using a prism contact lens and 23-gauge foreign body forceps is a safer, more effective, and convenient technique compared with the conventional approach.展开更多
