Abstract

OBJECTIVE:TO STUDY REFRACTIVE OUTCOME AMONGST PENETRATING AND GLOBE RUPTURE SUB GROUPS OF OPEN GLOBE INJURIES.

METHOD:WE ENROLLED ALL OPEN GLOBE INJURIES THAT UNDERWENT SURGERIES DURING PERIOD OF 2012-2022.DATA COLLECTED PROSPECTIVELY IN PRETESTED ONLINE FORMAT AND FINAL VISUAL OUTCOME CONSIDERED 6 WEEKS POST LAST SURGERY. WE COMPARED VISION, SPHERICAL, CYLINDRICAL REFRACTIVE POWER AMONGST SUBGROUPS. DATA ANALYSED USING SPSS 22 USING CROSS TABULATION AND FISHER EXTRACT TESTS.

RESULTS: OUR COHORT INCLUDED 290 EYES 64.1%-M, 35.9% F WITH MEDIAN AGE 11. MEAN ASTIGMATISM FOR PENETRATING AND GLOBE RUPTURE SUBGROUP WAS 1.1 AND 1.4 D RESPECTIVELY. WE FOUND SIGNIFICANT DIFFERENCE IN PRE AND POST OPERATIVE VISION, SPHERICAL AND CYLINDRICAL REFRACTIVE ERROR. (P=0.018,0.001) WE COULD NOT FIND DIFFERENCE IN OTS AND AXIS AMONGST THESE SUBGROUPS.

CONCLUSION: WE FOUND OUTCOME IS BETTER AND ASTIGMATISM IS LESS IN PENETRATING SUBCATEGORY OF OPEN GLOBE INJURY.
