Lens status
No pathology	50 (38%)
Traumatic cataract	55 (42%)
Aphakia after initial trauma	26 (20%)
Affected tissue
Corneal	59 (45%)
Scleral	17 (13%)
Corneoscleral	55 (42%)
Intravitreal hemorrhage	29 (22%)

Glaucoma during follow-up	9 (7%)
Anterior segment inflammation during follow-up	23 (18%)
Loss of iris tissue	61 (47%)
Penetrating injury	42 (32%)
Cutting any prolapsed vitreous in the primary surgery	17 (13%)
Time interval between the trauma and repair	13.5 ± 13.2 (6–96) hours
