Abstract

Intraocular foreign bodies (IOFBs) are critical ophthalmic emergencies that require urgent diagnosis and treatment to prevent blindness or globe loss. This video will showcase variety of cases including removal of fresh IOFBs to removal of old retained IOFBs. IOFBs were removed from posterior segment of the eye following pars plana vitrectomy with the help of intraocular magnets or forceps through the scleral or cornel incision. Tear repair was done and cataract extraction in cases where lens was damaged due to trauma was performed. Silicon oil was injected whenever tamponade was required.
