Abstract

The authors present the frequency, clinical forms and therapeutic results of traumatic glaucoma in 511 injured eyes. Traumatic glaucoma was found in 6.6% of the injured eyes, more frequently in contusions than in perforating lesions of the eye. One third of the patients with traumatic glaucoma were blind and one half had visual acuity below 0.1. The time elapsed between the injury and the diagnosis of traumatic glaucoma ranged from 1 hour to 30 years.

Optical coherence tomographic observations before and after macular hole formation secondary to laser injury.

PURPOSE: To describe the ophthalmoscopic and optical coherence tomographically determined retinovitreous interface before and after the development of a macular hole secondary to an accidental laser injury. DESIGN: Observational case report. METHODS: Ophthalmoscopic and optical coherence tomography (OCT) findings in a 53-year-old man were evaluated before and after the macular hole formation secondary to a laser injury. Visual function was followed for 9 months after surgery. RESULTS: A 53-year-old man sustained injury to his right eye by a Ti: Sapphire laser. On the following day, his corrected visual acuity was 0.3, and a small pigment epithelial atrophy was present in the right foveal area. No macular hole was detected by OCT and the retinovitreal interface was normal. Fifty-three days later, a full-thickness macular hole appeared, and no posterior vitreous detachment was detected by OCT. The hole was closed by surgery with final best-corrected visual acuity of 0.7. CONCLUSIONS: Macular holes can develop without visible traction on the retina and can occur long after retinal injury.
