Purpose: To explore the clinical features, surgical interventions and prognosis of injured eyes following explosion and to develop the risk factors for poor prognosis.
Methods: A nested case-control study. To the date of 31 December 2018, 99 explosion-related eye globes were selected from the Eye Injury Vitrectomy Study database, which is a multicenter prospective cohort study and began in 1990s.
Background: The objective of the study was to delineate clinical characteristics, surgical interventions, anatomic and visual outcomes of ruptured eye balls after trauma, and establish the prognostic indicators, which can assist clinicians in making correct surgical decisions during globe exploration for ruptured eyes.
Design: The study design used was a multicentre prospective cohort study, including six university-affiliated tertiary hospitals.
Participants: We selected 242 cases of ruptured globe from the Eye Injury Vitrectomy Study database, until 31 December 2012.
