[Prognostic factors and visual outcome for open globe injuries with intraocular foreign bodies].
The aim of this study was to evaluate the clinical features as well as the visual results and determine the prognostic factors after the removal of retained intraocular foreign bodies (IOFBs). ⋯ Acceptable visual results could be achieved after the removal of posterior segment IOFBs by vitrectomy. A reliable classification of ocular injuries may provide significant information about the prognosis of injuries with intraocular foreign bodies.
