Role of imaging in diagnosis and management of intraocular foreign bodies: A short review

Abstract
IOFBs (intraocular foreign bodies) can be found in up to 40% of penetrating or open-globe ocular trauma cases. Vision loss can be devastating as a result of endophthalmitis, retinal detachment or ocular siderosis. However, timely and appropriate management often leads to favorable anatomic outcomes with restoration of good visual function in the majority of cases. The identification of IOFBs can be quite challenging clinically. Several imaging modalities are currently available to aid in screening for the presence of retained IOFBs—each with its own advantages and limitations.References
