A rare case report: Iris intraocular foreign body

Abstract

We are reporting a case of the safe removal of the iron intraocular foreign body embedded on the iris with the use of forceps. Preoperative best-corrected visual acuity was 20/20. Cornea showed self-sealed entry site with no other ocular injury. With such good vision, there is a definite challenge to maintain vision and avoid subsequent serious complications. The foreign body was successfully removed via limbal route with use of forceps. Postoperative best corrected visual acuity was 20/20 with very minimal surgical damage.
