    Copper foreign bodies in the eye cause significant histopathological changes, including granulomas and retinal detachment. Copper was identified within tissues, indicating its role in chronic inflammation and ocular damage.

    Area of Science:

    • Ophthalmology
    • Veterinary Pathology
    • Materials Science

    Background:

    • Intraocular foreign bodies pose a risk of severe ocular damage.
    • Copper is a known toxic metal with potential for chronic inflammatory responses.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To histopathologically investigate the ocular effects of copper foreign bodies.
    • To identify the location and tissue distribution of copper within the eye.

    Main Methods:

    • Histopathological examination of seven eyes with copper foreign bodies.
    • Rubeanic acid and rhodanine staining for copper identification.

    Main Results:

    • Copper foreign bodies were encapsulated in the anterior vitreous of all eyes.

  • Histopathology revealed foreign body granulomas, fibroblastic proliferation, traction retinal detachment, and choroidal effusion.
  • Copper was detected in fibrous capsules, lens capsules, and macrophages.

    • Conclusions:

    • Long-term copper foreign bodies induce significant intraocular inflammation and structural damage.
    • Copper deposition in ocular tissues contributes to chronic pathological changes.
