ABSTRACT
OBJECTIVE:
To discuss the incidence rate and causes of endophthalmitis caused by minor ocular perforation. To document its damage to the visual function, so as to improve the rate of prevention of this disease.METHODS:
The following clinical information of 153 cases with minor ocular perforations from a retrospective study was collected general conditions, injury objects, wound shape and size, presence or absence of ocular foreign body, associated organic injuries, visual functions in the early stage after injury, speed of occurrence of infection, and positive rate of microbiological tests. The results with the drug treatments and surgical therapy were analyzed.RESULTS:
All of 153 cases were followed up from 3 months to 7 years. The visual acuity in 13 cases (8.5%) was over 0.3. 140 cases (91.5%) were less than 0.3. Enucleating was performed in 37 cases (24.2%).CONCLUSION:
The patients with minor ocular perforations tend to have good visual acuity in the early stage after injury. But their visual acuity was lost in 4 to 12 hours if rapid and severe infections occurred. The risk of endophthalmitis should be recognized and evaluated on time in the early stage after injury.
