Yang Y, Yang C, Zhao R, et al. - In this retrospective study, researchers examined the clinical features of intraocular foreign body (IOFB) injury in children and assessed factors correlated with endophthalmitis development. Between January 2003 and July 2016, patients aged < 18 years with IOFB attending Zhongshan Ophthalmic Center were involved. Four hundred eighty-four consecutive patients (484 eyes) were included (mean age 10.12±4.54 years). Findings suggested that children with IOFB injury have different clinical features from those of adults. The most common cause of injury is fireworks, which indicates a ban should be advocated on children igniting fireworks. Education for safety and protective measures should vary according to age and gender. Endophthalmitis is associated with the clinically relevant zone II wound, traumatic lens rupture, IOFB material, intraocular haemorrhage and uveal tissue prolapse.
