“…3 Karr and Scott found surgical patients achieving 20/200 or better acuity presented at a mean age of 2.4 months, whereas those that achieved 20/300 or worse presented at a mean age of 4.3 months. 5 Our study showed surgery before 77 days was associated with useful vision (OR 13, p = 0.01). This provides a useful prognostic factor in case selection that concurs with previous anecdotal reports.…”

“…Posterior PHPV has been associated with a poor visual outcome in previous studies. [1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13] Including all patients in our study, the absence of posterior involvement predicted counting finger or better vision but this failed to reach statistical significance (OR 1.6, p = 0.44). For patients receiving visual rehabilitation surgery, presence of posterior segment involvement was found not to be associated with visual acuity at final follow up (p = 0.46).…”

“…Previous surgical series have documented variable visual and anatomical outcomes even with highly selected cases. [1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13] Poor visual outcomes temper the decision to pursue surgery and ongoing visual rehabilitation.…”

Aims: To report outcomes in cases of persistent hyperplastic primary vitreous (PHPV) and examine factors predictive of visual acuity in patients selected for surgery. Methods: Retrospective case series of 55 eyes in 50 patients presenting between 1990 and 2001 at the Children's Hospital, Westmead. 33 eyes underwent surgery aimed at visual rehabilitation. Results: In surgical patients, median age at surgery was 77 days, and median age at final follow up was 28 months. Six (18%) achieved a visual acuity at final follow up of 6/60 or better and eight (24%) achieved acuity of less than 6/60 to counting finger vision inclusive. Those undergoing surgery before 77 days were approximately 13 times more likely to obtain a visual acuity of counting fingers or better than those operated later (p = 0.01). Neither posterior segment PHPV nor post-surgical glaucoma was a significant predictor of outcome in this selected group. Conclusion: Early surgery aimed at rehabilitation markedly improves the likelihood of useful visual outcome in selected eyes with PHPV.
