Long-standing iron-containing intraocular foreign body without siderosis
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.
