Background: To investigate the factors that influence final visual acuity (VA) in open globe injuries.
Methods: The records of patients with open globe injuries who were followed for longer than 6 months between 1998 and 2009 in two different centers were retrospectively reviewed. The data collected included patients' demographics as well as their initial VA, wound location, mechanism and type of injury, clinical findings, and final best-corrected VA.
Purpose: To determine demographic, etiologic, clinical characteristics, visual outcome, and the factors affecting visual prognosis in children with open globe injuries.
Methods: The medical records of 82 patients under the age of 16 years who presented with open globe injuries from January 1998 to January 2009 were retrospectively examined. Age, sex, involved eye, cause, place of injury, wound location, presenting visual acuity, clinical signs, and final visual acuity were noted.

Background: We aimed to evaluate the etiological and demographic characteristics of open globe injuries in geriatric patients, to determine the factors affecting the prognosis and to discuss the differences between geriatric and young populations in light of the current literature.
Methods: The medical files of 30 patients aged 65 years and older who were treated and followed up for open globe injuries between 1998 and 2009 were evaluated retrospectively.
Results: The mean age was 73.
