Objective To summarize the visual outcome of patients with severe ocular trauma treated with vitreous surgery. Methods Clinical data of 188(191 eyes) with severe ocular trauma treated with vitreous surgery in a period from November 1996 to April 1998 were analysed retrospectively. Results The study included penetrating injury in 56 eyes, foreign bodies in the posterior segment in 70 eyes, blunt injury in 41 eyes , and globe rupture in 24 eyes. Main complications included endophthalmitis in 35 eyes, choroidal bleeding in 20 eyes, retinal detachment in 60 eyes, and vitreous hemorrhage in 97 eyes. Post-opera-tively, out of 188 eyes, except for 3 of patients too young to examine, visual acuity improved in 133(70.7%), including 85(45.2%) with visal acuity 0.02-1.0, 46(24.5%) remained unchanged; and 9(4.8%) had worse vision. Among 34 with no-light-perception, 12 had light-perception or over. Conclusion A majority of severe trauma eyes can be salvaged with considerable visual recovery after adequate and timely vitreous surgery. (Chin J Ocul Fundus Dis,1999,15:4-6)
Objective To investigate the related factors of effects on distant visual acuity after photodynamic therapy (PDT) for choroidal neovascularization (CNV). Methods One hundred and thirty-five cases (135 eyes ) of CNV treated with PDT were observed. The gender, preoperative distant and near visual acuity, disease course, pathogeny, area of CNV, types of CNV ascertained by fundus fluorescein angiography (FFA), and changes of CNV in FFA were recorded. Multi-factor regression analysis of visual acuity within 1 month and 3 months after PDT was performed with SPSS statistics software. Results The distant visual acuity within 1 month postoperatively was related to the preoperative distant visual acuity, the area of CNV and the changes in the FFA（P=0.000,0.030,0.062）, and 3 months after PDT, it was related to the distant and near visual acuity preoperatively and the changes in the FFA（P=0.000,0.054,0.034）. The condition of distant visual acuity within 1 month postoperatively was related to the FFA type of CNV and the disease course（P=0.018,0.08）. Conclusion The smaller the area of CNV is, the better postoperative distant visual acuity would be. The proportion of improvement of visual acuity is relatively higher in patients with classic CNV. Early treatment for the patients with the indicatio may improve the visual acuity effectively. (Chin J Ocul Fundus Dis，2004，20：292-294)
PURPOSE:To evaluate the therapeutic effect of argon laser photocoagulation on choroidal osteoma. METHODS:Six cases (7 eyes)of choroidal osleoma were treated with argon laser photoeoagulation. The pre and postoperative visual aeuity,fundus appearance and fundus fluorescein anglography(FFA)were observed. The average period of follow up was 23 months. RESULT:The visual acuity of all patients was unchanged. Choroidal osteomas in 3 patlents ( 3 eyes)were flattened. The EFA showed that choroidal vaseulature disappeared in one eye. CONCLUSION :Multiple sessions of photocoagulation may cause decalcification of choroidal ostema and ]imitation of growth of the tumors awing to destroying the choroid blood vessel by pholoeoagulation in the area of tumor and around it. （Chin J Ocul Fundus Dis,1997,13: 204-206）
Objective To investigate the effects,safety and indications of local resection of choroidal melanoma with vitreoretinal surgery. Methods Eight patients with choroidal melanoma were treated with surgery.The range of the diameters of tumors was 5～20 mm and of the thickness was 4～12 mm.Retinal detachment was detected in 4 eyes.The local tumors were endoresected in 2 eyes,and managed by partial lamellar sclerouvectomy in 6 eyes.Vitreoretinal surgery,including vitrectomy,using perfluorocarbon liquid,endolaser and gases or silicone oil tamponde were performed in all eyes.Pathologic tests were performed for removed tissues. Results All tumors were resected completely.Among them,7 were histologically identified as choroidal melanomas,five were classified as spindle-cell type,2 as mixed-cell type.The ciliary body was involved in 3 tumors.The other one was choroidal melanocytoma.There was no tumor recurrence and metastasis during follow-up(average 9 .1 months).All eyeballs had no obvious changes in contour.Visual acuities werege;0.1 in 5 eyes. Conclusion In local resection cases of choroidal melanoma the affected eyeballs and their vision are saved,and the accurate diagnosis can also be made from the excisional biopsy.
