Abstract

Purpose: To investigate effects and complications of endoscopic vitrectomy combined with 3D heads-up viewing system in treating traumatic ocular injury. . This is a retrospective interventional case series in a tertiary referral center in Taiwan, and we included patients of traumatic ocular injury, and they underwent endoscopic vitrectomy combined with a 3D heads-up viewing system.

Results: Fourteen eyes of traumatic globe injury from 14 patients were studied over a 30-month period. Preoperative VA ranged from no light perception (NLP) to 6/6. Postoperative visual acuity improved in 11 of the 14 eyes (79%). Until 6 months after surgery, all eyes had attached retina. The median logMAR BCVA was 2.4 at the first visit and 1.19 at the last visit ( = 0.0028). No subject suffered from retinal detachment, endophthalmitis, or other severe complications.

Conclusions: Vitrectomy using endoscopy combined with 3D heads-up viewing system allowed early evaluation and intervention in traumatic ocular injuries. Most of our cases showed both anatomical and visual acuity improvements.
