Abstract

Posterior segment intraocular foreign bodies pose a problem in restoration of significant visual acuity usually
due to delayed presentation, improper evaluation and management. However, good history taking, meticulous
ocular examination and proper management can result in reasonable visual acuity in cases of retained
intraocular foreign body in the posterior segment. We are presenting a case report of penetrating ocular
trauma with retained intraocular foreign body in the posterior segment. Following intraocular foreign
body removal, core vitrectomy and subsequent cataract extraction, the patient had best corrected visual
acuity of 6/9.

Key Words: Intraocular foreign body, vitrectomy, cataract.
