  • Title: Late vitrectomy in double perforating ocular injuries.
    Author: Hanscom T, Kreiger AE.
    Journal: Ophthalmic Surg; 1979 Oct; 10(10):78-80. PubMed ID: 530544.
    Abstract:
    Three double perforating eye injuries were managed satisfactorily with vitrectomy six to twelve weeks after injury. This timing of surgery may be advantageous, in that inflammation may be less and the risk of hemorrhage lower. All eyes in our series had spontaneous posterior vitreous detachment, making surgery technically easier. Serial ultrasonography is essential in these cases, and in the presence of retinal detachment, earlier surgery may be indicated.
