Introduction
 Open globe injuries(OGI) constitute 28% of all ocular trauma.
 Intraocular foreign body (IOFB) accounts 17- 41% of OGIs.
 Intralenticular Foreign body(ILFB) constitutes only 5-11% of all IOFB(0.05-0.1% of all ocular trauma).
 Entry wound and iris hole with or without cataract suggest the possibility of retained ILFB.
 Complications like cataract, uveitis, glaucoma, endophthalmitis and intraocular metallosis
have been reported.

Lee W et al J Cataract Refract Surg. 2007;33:5502
 Cataract occurs due to alteration in the capsular integrity in most cases so
it is necessary to remove the intralenticular foreign body and cataract
 ILFBs can be detected through slit-lamp examination.
 ILFB must be confirmed with imaging including X ray orbit,
ultrasound B scan immersion technique, CT scan orbit , Scheimpflug
imaging and UBM.
 MRI is contraindicated unless IOFB is proven to be non magnetic.

Our Results:
 All of our patient were working male
 Ocupation:1. Electrician
 2. Skilled construction laborer
 3. carpenter
 Mechanism : hammering with iron instrument in all case
 Duration of presentation from trauma: 2, 3 and 6 month ( avg. 3.667 month)( once vision is
affected)
 Presenting visual acuity: HM in two eye and 6/36 in 1 eye.
 Entry wound= cornea(zone I) and self sealed in all eyes.
 Iris hole = in all eye
 Lens= total cataract in two eye and localized cataract around IOFB impacted
site in one eye
 Pupil= normal in size and reaction in two eye, mild dilated and sluggishly
reacting in one eye
 Feature of siderosis bulbi : remarkable in one eye ( iron rust on corneal
endothelium, heterochromia iridis, deposition of iron on lens epithelium,
pigmentary retinopathy and mid dilated pupil)
Investigations
 USG B+A scan( contact Technique) is of no value in ILFB localization but provide
information regarding posterior segment.
 USG B+A scan(Immersion technique) detect IOFB in lens and provide information
regarding status of posterior capsule.
 X-ray orbit: showed radiopaque shadow with in orbit in metallic FB
 We did not perform CT scan orbit, Scheimpflug imaging and UBM due to unavailability of
these service, high cost as well as previous investigations already confirmed its location and
guided definitive treatment to us.
Treatment
 Early removal of ILFB prevents siderosis as well as provides better visual
outcome.
 Use of small(2.8mm) incision is sufficient as ILFB are usually small ( 2mm).
 Following Capsulorrhexis, capsulorrhexis forcep can be used to recover ILFB
from the lens matter before phacoemulsification.
Conclusion
 Siderosis develops if ILFB remains for longer duration.
 USG B+A scan(Immersion technique) detect IOFB in lens and provide
information regarding status of posterior capsule. So It is a very important
and recommended investigation for ILFB in developing countries.
 ILFB removal followed by phacoemulsification or lens aspiration and in the bag
implantation of foldable IOL has encouraging refractive and visual outcomes.
 Removal of ILFB following capsulorrhexis before cataract extraction prevent
accidental IOFB drop into the posterior segment. So we recommend ILFB
removal before hydro-dissection.
Preventive measures
 Educating people working at high risk job ( including welder,
construction site worker, electrician ) regarding use of protective
spectacle.
 Discouraging use of fire crackers during festivals and celebration and
mandating use of protective spectacles.
 Use of helmet while travelling in two wheeler.
Intra lenticular foreign body
Why utratas forcep
 No need of other instrument. Usual phaco set iis sufficient
 Better grip than mcpherson, no need of magnet
 Staining anterior capsule before capsulorhexis provide better visualization of it.
However due to healing process anterior capsule becomes fibrosed and non elastic
making capsulorrhexis more difficult. Use of cohesive viscoelastic might help.
 Why siderosis in uvea embedded
 Type of IOL
 Why and which forcep?
 Why not magnet?
Any treatment for siderosis?
 Arora [6] suggested that use of McPherson forceps (intraocular lens
holding forceps) rather than magnet is sufficient for removal of metallic
foreign bodies. Majority of the patients with retained intralenticular
foreign body develop cataract formation which causes diminution of vision
requiring surgery. However, progressive cataract formation is not
inevitable.
 Lens epithelium makes the small breach in the anterior lens capsule heal
quickly by rapid epithelial proliferation restoring its continuity, and limiting
the free passage of ions and fluid that may progress to the development of
cataract formation [15]
1. Observation and close follow up after control of inflammation: Small
metallic foreign bodies , not affecting the visual axis, with clear lens and no
other intraocular damage.
2. The lens/cataract extraction with removal of foreign body: all the Small
metallic foreign bodies with complication and all Medium to large metallic
foreign bodies in the lens
 These two steps were performed either as a single-staged procedure or as two
separate surgeries.[4]
 The combined procedure to give good results in 14 eyes, three of which had
suture-fixated IOL because of posterior capsular tear.[14]
