PURPOSE: We determine the clinical characteristics, visual and anatomical outcomes, and factors associated with poor visual outcome and anatomical success in pediatric @entity542 ( @entity542 ). METHODS: The records of @entity1 aged 17  years and younger who had undergone surgical intervention after @entity542 between January 2000 and June 2010 were reviewed retrospectively. RESULTS: In total, 182 @entity1 were enrolled in the study (70.9  % males, 29.1  % females; mean age: 8.6        4.5  years [range 1-17  years]). @entity130 occurred mostly at home (45.1  %). Objects most often causing the @entity2194 were sharp objects (74.1  %). Over one-third of the eyes (39.7  %) had final visual acuities of 20/200 or better. Anatomical success was achieved in 76.9  % of eyes. Time between primary globe repair and secondary surgical intervention was 61.4        144  days. Visual outcomes were poor in eyes with initial visual acuity less than for counting fingers, @entity1713 , proliferative @entity1715 , and @entity3225 . Anatomical success rates were low with @entity1713 . CONCLUSION: Visual outcomes seem to be poor in more than half of the @entity1 despite advanced microsurgical techniques.
