Long-standing iron-containing intraocular foreign body without siderosis

Priyanka R, Bhanu Pangtey .

Abstract


An intraocular iron foreign body may cause many ocular complications, sometimes even blindness.  Therefore, if possible, it should be removed to avoid    ocular siderosis. We report a case in which a foreign body was trapped in the retina for over 33 years, which did not lead to ocular siderosis.

 Keywords: Iron foreign body, siderosis.
