Abstract: Objective: To explore the surgery opportunity and prevention of complications for penetrating injury of cornea with traumatic cataract.Methods: Forty cases performed lacerated corneal suture and extracapsular cataract extraction with intraocular lens implantation from 1998 to 2002 in our hospital were analyzed,and the prevention and treatment of the complications were reviewed.Results: All the cases were followed up for 2 to 24 months.The postoperative vision was 0.6 to 1.0 in 5 eyes(12.5%),0.3 to 0.5 in 16 eyes(40%),0.05 to 0.2 in 17 eyes(42.5%),and below 0.05 in 2 eyes(5%).The main postoperative complications were uveitis and after-cataract.Conclusions: Proper time of operation and management of complications can lead to satisfactory therapeutic result for the patients with penetrating injury of cornea with traumatic cataract.
