Article Synopsis
  • Intraocular foreign bodies (IOFBs) can lead to serious infections like endophthalmitis, and delays in treatment due to diagnostic testing can worsen outcomes.
  • A case involving a 16-year-old boy with an IOFB after a hammering incident showed that direct visualization of the injury led to timely surgery, preventing further infection and preserving vision.
  • The study suggests that using ultrasonography instead of CT scans for diagnosing IOFBs can facilitate faster treatment and improve patient outcomes by reducing the risk of endophthalmitis.
