AIM: To determine the efficacy of combined pars plana vitrectomy (PPV) with primary scleral fixated intraocular lens (IOL) in patients with ocular trauma. METHODS: A retrospective case series descriptive study. A consecutive 8 patients of ocular trauma which underwent combined PPV with primary scleral fixated IOL at the University Malaya Medical Centre were reviewed. One patient had bilateral injury making it 9 eyes for analysis. The presenting visual acuity, technique of surgery, complications and outcomes were analyzed. RESULTS: Vision improved in 8 out of the 9 eyes (89%). The major postoperative complication noted was an elevated intraocular pressure while suture breakage was not noted in our series. CONCLUSION: Combined PPV and sutured IOL has a good outcome in eyes with history of trauma.
