Vision. Vitreoretinal surgery}, abstract={This retrospective study aims to investigate the visual prognostic factors in cases who underwent vitreoretinal surgery for intraocular foreign body (IOFB) removal. Fifty-two patients who had vitreoretinal surgery between 2007-2014 and had a minimum of 3 months of follow-up were included. The demographic characteristics, preoperative and postoperative best corrected visual acuities (BCVA) were recorded and their relationship with the postoperative anatomical success and BCVAs were investigated. The mean age of the cases were 34.6 + 14.0 years and the mean follow-up was 10,7 months. Preoperative BCVA was 1,74 + 1,15 logMAR while the postoperative BCVA was 0,92 + 1,15 logMAR at the sixth month postoperatively. The most common entry site of IOFB was within the cornea. The anatomical success rate was 88,4% at the sixth month. Nine cases developed retinal detachment throughout the follow-up. Secondary surgical intervention was needed in 42,3% of cases. Cases who had primary repair for ocular integrity and those whose IOFB were removed from the cornea had significantly lower rates of anatomical success at the sixth month.}, number={2}
