摘要
We reviewed the records of 21 patients with posttraumatic wound dehiscence following cataract surgery to establish the cause of injury and assess the complications and outcome following injury, Wound dehiscence most commonly resulted from patients knocking their eye accidentally with their own hand, and falls were the second most frequent cause. None of these patients suffered injury as a result of bending down. Eyes that had undergone cataract surgery through corneal sections were more prone to wound dehiscence than those operated on via a limbal approach, The visual outcome following repair was good in the majority of cases, but eyes with expulsion of lens implant and/or vitreous loss fended to have a relatively poor outcome.
