Metallic Intraocular Foreign Bodies Following Torsional Phacoemulsification Surgery.

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.

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.

Use of Cohesive Viscoelastic Agents to Facilitate Safe Removal of Posterior Segment Intraocular Foreign Bodies.

To assess the ability of viscoelastic agents and perfluoro-N-octane (PFO) to safely remove an intraocular foreign body (IOFB). A 23-gauge pars plana vitrectomy and lensectomy were performed in a porcine eye. A 5.

A Huge Conjunctival Atypical Fibroxanthoma.

We report the case of a Hispanic male whose conjunctival atypical fibroxanthoma (AFX) grew very large, with intraocular as well as extraocular muscle extensions, and was treated with exenteration. A 50-year-old male presented with a one-month history of foreign-body sensation in his left eye. The initial examination revealed an erythematous, vascularized, pedunculated lesion arising from the left eye conjunctiva.

Ocular involvement of oak processionary caterpillar hairs: Clinical outcome up to one year.

Purpose: To evaluate a consecutive series of patients that presented with ocular findings after contact with the oak processionary caterpillar (OPC) during an epidemic reproduction of the OPC in Germany in 2019 and to assess the 1-year outcome of those eyes with persisting OPC hairs in the cornea.

Methods: Retrospective analysis of 11 eyes (11 patients) that presented in June/July 2019 with acute ocular symptoms after outdoor activity or caterpillar nest removal. Evaluation of patients charts and slit-lamp images up to one year.

An unexpected retained metallic intraocular foreign body.

Purpose: This case report aims to describe a rare case of asymptomatic retained metallic intraocular foreign body (IOFB) in the retina with reduced full-field electroretinography (ff-ERG) in a Chinese woman.

Methods: This is a clinical investigation of a patient who unexpectedly presented with a metallic IOFB at the superior-temporal region of the left eye ring during a brain computed tomography.

Results: Her best-corrected visual acuity was 20/20 in both eyes.

Predictive Factors for Structural and Functional Outcomes of 25-Gauge Pars Plana Vitrectomy (PPV) for the Removal of Posterior Intraocular Foreign Bodies (IOFBs): A Retrospective Data Analysis From North India.

Purpose: To identify predictive factors for structural and functional outcomes of 25-gauge pars plana vitrectomy (25G PPV) for removal of posterior segment intra-ocular foreign body (IOFB).

Silicone on the Move: Migratory Siliconoma After Retinal Surgery Report of a Case and Review of the Literature.

Silicone granulomas, or "siliconomas," are the common foreign-body inflammatory responses to injected silicone material. In rare cases, siliconomas develop remotely from the original site of injection, secondary to silicone migration. If a history of silicone injection is not noted, such lesions risk misdiagnosis (possibly as infection or malignancy).
