ABSTRACT
PURPOSE:
We describe three different approaches for lens management in cases of metallic IOFBs involving the posterior segment.METHODS:
All consecutive posterior segment metallic IOFB cases from 2012 to 2023 at a single institution were included in this retrospective case series. Surgical outcomes and surgical videos are presented.RESULTS:
A total of 25 metallic IOFB cases were included. In 9 cases, there was no significant lens involvement, therefore not requiring lens extraction at the time of IOFB removal. In 8 cases with traumatic cataract, lens extraction sparing the anterior lens capsule was performed with IOFB removal. In 8 cases, both lens extraction and lens capsule removal were required at the time of IOFB removal.CONCLUSION:
We demonstrate our algorithm to capsular management in patients who present with IOFB with good visual outcomes in follow-up.
