Good visual acuity of 6/6– 6/18 was achieved by 70 cases, (70%) out of which 58 cases (58%) are closed globe type and 12cases (12%) are open globe type. 4 cases (4%) achieved visual acuity of 6/24 to 6/609.(1) 26 cases(26%) achieved a poor visual outcome of <6/60 out of which 22 cases (22%) are open globe type and 4 cases 4% are closed globe type.(2) [b]CONCLUSIONS[/b]: Closed globe injury has a favorable prognosis fora satisfactory better that 6/18 visual recovery after surgical management of traumatic cataract, compared to open globe type. In case of open globe injury.(3) prompt wound repair, proper use of drugs to reduce infection, inflammation followed by timely surgery may improve the visual prognosisif there is no other sight threatening injury.
