[The surgical treatment of traumatized eyes with no light perception].
OBJECTIVE
To assess the efficacy of surgical treatment for traumatized eyes with no light perception (NLP).


METHODS
We performed surgical treatment of vitrectomy on 11 eyes with NLP of 11 patients. The patients with LP or more than LP after the operations were followed up from 6 to 24 months (mean, 11 months).


RESULTS
Postoperatively, 7 of 11 patients had visual acuities of light perception to 0.2. Four remained NLP, in which one had enucleation.


CONCLUSIONS
The serious opacity of refractive media, the damaged or detached retina and the choroid edema are the main reasons of NLP. Some patients of NLP may get some visual acuities after surgical treatment of vitrectomy.
