Purpose. To investigate the prognostic factors for visual outcome in traumatic cataract patients. Methods.The demographic features\nof traumatic cataract patients in Central China were studied.The factors that might influence the visual outcome were analyzed.\nThe sensitivity and specificity of OTS (ocular trauma score) in predicting VA were calculated. Results.The study enrolled 480 cases.\n65.5% of patients achieved VA at >20/60. The factors associated with the final VA were initial VA, injury type, wound location, the\nway of cataract removal, and IOL implantation. The sensitivities of OTS in predicting the VA at NLP (nonlight perception), LP/HM\n(light perception/hand motion), and �20/40 were 100%. The specificity of OTS to predict the final VA at 1/200-19/200 and 20/200-\n20/50 was 100%. Conclusion.The prognostic factors were initial VA, injury type, wound location, cataract removal procedure, and\ntheway of IOL implantation.TheOTS has good sensitivity and specificity in predicting visual outcome in traumatic cataract patients\nin long follow-up.
