Objective To study the factors affecting the prognosis of vitrectomy in mechanically injured eyes. Methods One hundred and thirty-Seven eyes undergone vitrectomy were in cluded.Recorded to EPIINFO data base were visual acuity (VA) immediately after injury,type and location of injury,the interval from injury to surgical intervention,retinal detachment,basic surgical maneuvers,proliferative vitreo-retinopathy (PVR),stage of trauma,complications,final VA,and final retinal status.Data were analyzed by SAS. Results We got anatomic success in 107 eyes (75.9%).Final VA of 74 eyes (54.1%) were better than 0.02.Multiple-variable analysis showed that the factors significantly affecting prognosis of vitrectomied eyes of mechanical injury were retinal detachment (RD) before surgery,delay of surgical intervention,complexity of surgical maneuvers,complications after surgery. Conclusions RD before surgery,delayed surgical intervention,complexity of surgery and post vitrectomy complications are the most important factors contributing to the poor prognosis of VA and failure of surgery.
