Peng KL, Kung YH, Hsu PS, et al. - Researchers conducted this retrospective study to assess the surgical outcomes of the removal of metallic posterior segment intraocular foreign bodies (IOFBs) following injuries. The sample consisted of 39 patients [mean age was 40.51 ± 12.48 years] injured by metallic posterior segment IOFBs and who had primary repair procedures, vitrectomies, and IOFBs removal with or without procedures for traumatic cataract removal, scleral buckling and intraoperative tamponade application from January 2008 to January 2019. In cases involving posterior segment metallic IOFBs, IOFB-related macula injuries and postoperative retinal detachment were important associated factors of poor final visual prognoses. Removing IOFB as soon as possible can prevent preoperative endophthalmitis that could lead to poor final visions even without significance.
