    Summary

    Metallic foreign bodies cause traumatic cataracts from penetrating eye injuries. Successful surgical removal of an intralenticular foreign body and cataract using phacoemulsification is reported.

    Area of Science:

    • Ophthalmology
    • Trauma Surgery

    Background:

    • Penetrating ocular injuries frequently involve metallic foreign bodies.
    • Intraocular foreign bodies can cause sight-threatening damage, with traumatic cataracts occurring in up to 25% of cases.

    Observation:

    • A case of traumatic cataract with a retained intralenticular foreign body is presented.

    Findings:

    • Successful removal of the intralenticular foreign body was achieved using phacoemulsification.
    • A foldable intraocular lens was implanted in the capsular bag.

    Implications:

    • This case highlights the importance of planning a two-staged surgical approach for complex cases.
    • Appropriate investigations are crucial for successful management of traumatic cataracts and intraocular foreign bodies.
