  • Title: [The clinical characteristics and emergency microsurgical care in eye injuries in children].
    Author: Bobrova NF.
    Journal: Oftalmol Zh; 1989; (7):395-400. PubMed ID: 2633088.
    Abstract:
    The paper describes results after primary surgical treatment in 131 children, aged from 2 to 14 years, with severe combined trauma of the anterior segment of the eye complicated by lens injury in 84.4%, prolapse of eye coats in 34.9%, injury of the iris in 12.8%, extensive hemorrhages in 12.8%, intraocular foreign bodies in 6.4%. Besides sutural fixation of corneal and scleral wounds, there were simultaneously made iridoplasty, aspiration of a swelling lens, anterior vitrectomy, removal of a foreign body, organized hyphema and exudate tectonic corneoscleroplasty, and, if indicated, IOL implantation. The functional outcomes (a cure with visual acuity 0.3-1.0 was recorded in 45% of patients) speak in favor of such a method of rendering urgent aid and allow to recommend it into a wide ophthalmological practice.
