Introduction: To study the visual outcomes of nucleus drop following corrective TPPV, and compared outcomes between surgeries that followed trauma & without trauma.
Method: A retrospective cohort study of vitrectomy with lens drop removed with or without IOL. Patients were divided into two arms traumatic and non-traumatic cases based on aetiology of lens drop.All the data were collected according to a standard follow-up format&statistical analysis done using SPSS23.
Results: Our cohort of 65 eyes; 20 (32.4%) were traumatic and 45 (67.6%) had lens drop following cataract surgeries.Presenting vision was<3/60 in 87%, we found that vision in 8(40%) traumatic cases improved to more than 6/24 and in 23 (51.2%) in non- traumatic arm.Vision did not improve in 15% (<1/60) of non -traumatic arm & 15% in traumatic arm.
Conclusion: Visual outcome following corrective vitrectomy for lens drop may be satisfactory if managed well; no significant difference in outcome was noted based on aetiology.
