The authors reviewed 104 consecutive cases of ocular injury treated with lensectomy and closed vitrectomy including anterior segment resection in 80 cases and posterior segment, in 24 cases. The curative rate was 80.8%. Post-operatively, 44 eyes (47.8%) gained visual acuities of 0.025-0.6 and 68 eyes (65.4%) obtained visual improvement. 29 eyes were followed up 1-38 months, averaging 22.5 months, to find long-term therapeutic effects in 23 eyes (79.3%). The authors believe that lensectomy with closed vitrectomy is a useful modality in treatment of ocular injury.
