Foreign body in the eye

Intraocular foreign bodies are a special type of ocular trauma, which is more harmful than ordinary penetrating penetrating injuries. Foreign objects entering the eyeballs, in addition to the mechanical damage caused by the injury, also increase the harm to the eyeballs due to the presence of foreign objects. In general, foreign bodies in the eye need to be diagnosed early and surgery is needed to protect the eyeball and retain vision. Types of foreign bodies in the eye: Foreign bodies in the eye are divided into two categories: magnetic and non-magnetic. Magnets can be sucked out with magnets during surgery; non-magnetic foreign bodies include other metals, alloys and non-metals. Extraction of non-magnetic foreign objects is mostly difficult. The position of the foreign body in the eyeball is about 20% in the front part of the eyeball and about 80% in the back part of the eyeball, of which 10% is located in the eyeball wall. The left eye is more than the right eye, and about 1% of both eyes have foreign bodies.
