Popis: Pur po se: To determine the factors affecting the outcome of best-corrected visual acuity (BCVA) in blunt ocular trauma cases. Ma te ri al and Met hod: 142 eyes of 142 patients, who were admitted to the 2nd Eye Clinic Emergency Service of M.H. Ankara Training and Research Hospital between June 2007 and August 2008, with blunt ocular trauma were prospectively included in the study in terms of the last-measured BCVA, the factors affecting it, and the ensuing complications. Re sults: Patient age ranged from 3 to 76 years (mean age: 31.9 ± 17.6 years). One hundred and seven cases (75.4%) were male and 35 (24.6%) were female. The last-measured BCVA in 120 cases (84.5%) was found to be log MAR ≤ 1.00 and in 22 cases (15.5%) was log MAR > 1.00. According to the one-way analysis of variance, the effect of initial visual acuity (p = 0.039), incision size (p = 0.029), relative afferent pupillary defect (RAPD) (p
