“…In our study, the endophthalmitis and panophthalmitis rates (19.3%) were high compared to Cillino et al In our study, the enucleation rate (9.6%) was high compared to the result of Pinna et al [7]. Out of the five enucleated patients, three were diagnosed panophthalmitis and two were severely injured beyond repair.…”

Patients were interviewed at first visit and followed-up for six months. The Birmingham Eye Trauma Terminology was used to classify types of injuries. Demographic data, cost of treatment, length of stay, and predictive factors (initial visual acuity, presence of relative afferent pupillary defect, hyphema, vitreous hemorrhage, intraocular foreign bodies, retinal detachment, time-duration to surgery, and wound length) were assessed. Results: Fifty-two out of 60 eyes were included. Most (82.7%) of patients were men and average age was 34.1 years (range: 8-68 years). About half (51.9%) graduated from primary school and 65.3% were labourers. Most patients had not used protective devices. The endophthalmitis rate was 13.5%, and panophthalmitis rate was 5.8%. The enucleation rate was 9.6%. The median length of stay was nine days. Poor initial visual acuity and intraocular foreign bodies were significant predictive factors of poor visual outcome (p <0.05). Conclusion: Open globe injuries caused visual morbidity especially in young adult male, laborers with low education. Initial visual acuity and intraocular foreign bodies were significant predictive factors of poor visual outcome.

“…7,11,[14][15][16] Our study showed similar results to those found in most studies, which indicate that a presenting VAo20/200 is an independent risk factor of a final BCVAo20/200. Although some studies have found that a primary BCVA of 20/400 or worse could not be a good predictor of a poor final visual outcome considering the probability of incompliance during examination or improvements in concept and technology of surgical intervention, 6,13 the presenting VA of HM or worse has been reported to be a risk factor of RD and hypotony at follow-up exams, 17,18 which could be also found in our study.…”

“…Frequently, patients are young, making the visual prognosis and long-term functional rehabilitation extremely important [1][2][3][4][5][6][8][9][10][11][12]. In addition, awareness of visual prognosis is important in patient counseling and in clinical decision making regarding further therapeutic interventions after the open-globe repair (OGR).…”
