Intraocular foreign bodies may remain quiescent for many years particularly if they are not metallic. We report a case of a missed intraocular stone foreign body that had remained asymptomatic underneath the iris for 60 years and appeared during cataract surgery.

Systematic inflammatory indicators and clinical management of exogenous endophthalmitis due to metal penetrating injury of eyeball.
Front Med (Lausanne)
December 2024
Xiamen Eye Center and Eye Institute of Xiamen University, School of Medicine, Xiamen, China.
Objective: To evaluate systemic inflammatory markers in cases of exogenous endophthalmitis caused by metal foreign bodies after penetrating eye injury and identify risk factors for poor control post-initial emergency surgery.
Methods: Twenty-nine patients with exogenous endophthalmitis underwent emergency surgery with vitrectomy at Xiamen Eye Center (2016-2024). Evaluations included systemic inflammatory markers, microbiology, clinical presentation, treatment strategies, complications, prognostic factors, and visual outcomes.
Endoscopy-assisted vitrectomy for severe ocular penetrating trauma with corneal opacity.

Department of Ophthalmology, General Hospital of Southern Theatre Command, Guangzhou 510010, Guangdong Province, China.
Aim: To assess the utility and efficiency of endoscopy-assisted vitrectomy (EAV) for the treatment of corneal opacity in severe ocular trauma.
Methods: Patients who underwent fundus examination using a preoperative slit lamp and intraoperative endoscopy, followed by EAV and additional surgery were retrospectively recruited. Silicone oil removal and penetrating keratoplasty were used in selected eyes at postoperative follow-ups.
Metallic Intraocular Foreign Bodies Following Torsional Phacoemulsification Surgery.
Semin Ophthalmol
December 2024
Department of Ophthalmology, Armed Forces Medical College, Pune, India.
Purpose: This study aimed to determine the rate of retained metallic intraocular foreign bodies (IOFBs) following torsional phacoemulsification cataract surgery by an experienced surgeon and elucidate related surgical factors, particle origin theories from existing literature, and postoperative visual impact.
Methods: An observational study was conducted on 300 consecutive cases of cataract who underwent torsional phacoemulsification by a single surgeon using two-handed stop-and-chop technique. The incidence of retained IOFBs was observed and correlated with the surgical parameters and the density of cataract.
Long-term Follow Up of a Complex Case of Foldable Capsular Vitreous Bag Implantation.
Retin Cases Brief Rep
December 2024
Liverpool Ocular Oncology Research Centre, Department of Molecular and Clinical Cancer Medicine, University of Liverpool, Liverpool, UK.
Purpose: The Foldable Capsular Vitreous Bag (FCVB) implant is useful in maintaining ocular structure in cases of chronic hypotony secondary to trauma or repeated surgery. There are few published reports of long-term outcomes and no indication of the chronic cellular changes of the adjacent tissues associated with FCVB implantation. We describe one of few FCVB cases in the UK and present histological findings associated with it following secondary enucleation.

Background: This study aims to describe the epidemiology and clinical features of patients with intraocular foreign bodies (IOFBs) and analyze the prognostic factors influencing final vision.
Methods: We retrospectively reviewed medical records of patients with IOFBs admitted to Qingdao Eye Hospital of Shandong First Medical University between January 1, 2014, and December 31, 2021. Inclusion criteria involved complete clinical data details of patients diagnosed with intraocular foreign bodies in our hospital who were treated with concurrent surgery and based on IOFB position and characteristics, different surgical methods were employed.
