Abstract
Fibrosis is an essential factor in the natural healing of intraocular injuries, but when it goes on to overgrowth, this originally benign process becomes destructive and gives rise to complications that may eventually result in loss of the eye. Vitrectomy is recommended for the correction of this situation in selected cases in which salvage of some vision is a possibility. The background of this paper is the 11 vitrectomies performed in 119 recently observed surgical cases of intraocular trauma. Such trauma presents a challenge which ophthalmic surgeons have not yet fully faced.Keywords
