Abstract

The visual outcome after bilateral lens-sparing 3-port pars plana
vitrectomy in a case of post-traumatic vitreous haemorrhage
in an infant is reported. Although it is possible to perform a
vitrectomy procedure via a pars plana approach in infants
without compromise to the lens for the treatment of
amblyogenic vitreous opacity, such as vitreous haemorrhage,
the visual outcome could be poor in cases associated with
trauma owing to possible structural damage to the macular,
the optic nerve and other more posterior visual pathways
