Methods:
A retrospective analysis was done of 16 patients with traumatic cataracts due to open globe injury operated between 2011 and 2013. Traumatic cataract was performed as primary and secondary procedure. Lens aspiration or phacoemulsification with intraocular lens implantation was performed in all patients.
