Posterior segment ocular trauma involves injuries to the vitreous, retina, choroid, and optic nerve. Surgical repair using vitrectomy, retinal reattachment, and foreign body removal can restore vision and prevent permanent damage following severe eye injuries.

Posterior segment ocular trauma refers to injuries affecting the vitreous, retina, choroid, and optic nerve. Such injuries result from blunt or penetrating trauma and may cause vitreous hemorrhage, retinal tears, retinal detachment, choroidal rupture, or intraocular foreign body lodgment. Prompt surgical intervention is critical to prevent permanent vision loss. Modern vitreoretinal surgery using 23G or 25G pars plana vitrectomy allows precise repair of traumatic injuries with minimal surgical trauma and faster recovery.

Risk factors for serious ocular trauma include:
Surgery is indicated for open globe injuries, vitreous hemorrhage obscuring the retina, traumatic retinal detachment, intraocular foreign body, and lens dislocation with visual impairment. Prompt evaluation by a vitreoretinal surgeon within 24 hours of injury is critical to optimize visual outcomes.
Diagnosis of posterior segment trauma involves:
Treatment of posterior segment ocular trauma begins with primary repair of the wound, followed by vitreoretinal surgery 10 to 14 days later once acute inflammation subsides. Vitrectomy removes blood, scar tissue, and foreign bodies. Retinal tears and detachments are repaired with laser, cryotherapy, or silicone oil tamponade. Systemic antibiotics are used to prevent endophthalmitis following penetrating injuries.
Vitreoretinal surgery for posterior segment trauma typically involves:
After surgery for ocular trauma, patients should:
Potential complications following posterior segment trauma repair include:
Do not rub or press the eye. Cover it with a clean shield and seek emergency eye care immediately. Do not attempt to remove any foreign object from the eye. Prompt evaluation within hours significantly improves visual outcomes.
Visual outcomes depend on the severity of the injury, the structures involved, and how quickly surgery is performed. Many patients regain useful vision with timely surgery, but severe injuries involving the optic nerve or macula may result in permanent vision loss.
Primary wound closure is done as an emergency. Vitreoretinal surgery is usually planned 10 to 14 days later to allow initial healing, though urgent vitrectomy is needed for endophthalmitis or severe retinal detachment.
Certified polycarbonate protective eyewear reduces the risk of serious eye injuries by over 90% in industrial and sports settings. All high-risk workers and athletes should wear appropriate eye protection at all times.
