Blunt ocular trauma is frequently seen in clinical practice, and is likely to cause ocular structure disrupture and visual function impairment. Vitrectomy is considered as an efficacious treatment of severe ocular trauma; however, secondary glaucoma has been frequently observed postoperatively.The present paper reported a case undergoing pupilloplasty, which successfully lowered intraocular pressure (IOP), reconstructed anterior segment structure, and restored visual function.
