Clinical Presentations and Surgical Outcomes in Traumatic Iris and Lens-Related Injuries Due to Blunt Trauma

Purpose:The aim of this study was to evaluate the clinical presentation, treatment options, and surgical outcomes of patients admitted with traumatic iris and lens-related injuries due to blunt trauma.Methods:This retrospective study included 43 eyes of 43 patients who presented with traumatic iris and lens injuries between September 01, 2022 and July 01, 2023.Results:The mean age was 46.1 +/- 14.6 years and the mean ocular trauma score was 74.7 +/- 9.9. According to the cause of injury, the most common cause in males is assault, and the most common cause in females is fall. Nine (20.9%) patients underwent pars plana vitrectomy. Six (14%) patients underwent cataract surgery with phacoemulsification and intraocular lens implantation into "the bag."Conclusions:In conclusion, other concomitant pathologies may make these surgeries difficult to perform. Early evaluation and timely management are essential to achieve the best possible outcomes in patients with traumatic iris and lens-related injuries.
