Area of Science:

  • Ophthalmology
  • Medical Imaging

Background:

  • Intraocular foreign bodies (IOFBs) pose diagnostic challenges.
  • Potential complications include endophthalmitis, cataract, and retinal detachment.

Observation:

  • A patient sustained an intraocular injury from hammering 'metal on metal'.
  • The iron foreign body was not immediately apparent.

Findings:

  • Ultrasonic biomicroscopy (UBM) successfully diagnosed the IOFB.
  • Surgical removal of the iron IOFB was performed.

Implications:

  • UBM is a valuable tool for diagnosing IOFBs.
  • Prompt diagnosis and removal can lead to excellent visual outcomes.
