Purpose: To report an approach to explosive injuries with simultaneous, co-surgeon bilateral ruptured globe repair and pars plana vitrectomy for bilateral intraocular foreign bodies (IOFBs). Methods: A case and its findings were analyzed. Results: A 31-year-old man had bilateral vision loss after...
(a) A 71-year-old man with a ruptured globe in a motor vehicle accident. The wound involved zones II and III. B-scan performed 20 days after operation showed loose and membranous vitreous debris, flattening of the globe, and diffuse choroidal thickening with bulging of the optic nerve into...
