title: [Primary vitrectomy in eyes with posterior scleral rupture].
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  To evaluate the therapeutic effects of primary vitrectomy in eyes with posterior scleral rupture.
  
  
  METHODS
  Twenty-two cases(23 eyes) which were cured by primary vitrectomy in eyes with posterior scleral rupture and vitreum haemorrhage were studied retrospectively for 3-9 months (mean 6 months) after the operation.
  
  
  RESULTS
  After operation, most of the eyes' (16 eyes, 69.5%) visual acuity was improved in different degree. The reason for visual acuity not improved was eyeball atrophy.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  The operation was safe and effective. It can improve visual acuity rapidly and lessen complication.
