[Intraocular foreign body].

The authors present the case of a patient who suffered a penetrating ocular trauma due to wood IOFB. An emergency surgery is initiated for the traumatic cataract, afterwards the IOFB is extracted through posterior vitrectomy. The patient seeks medical help after another 3 weeks, being diagnosed with retinal detachment, which is solved surgically.

[Characteristics of ocular detachment after refractive surgery].

The myopic eye subject to refractive surgery maintains a high risk of retinal detachment (RD). We present the difficulties of endo-ocular surgery on patients with previous radial keratotomy as well as the particular aspects of RD in patient with LASIK. RD in lens refractive surgery eyes is not essentially different from RD on pseudophakic eyes.
