Abstract
IOFBs are an important cause of blindness and visual morbidity especially in the working age group. Metallic foreign bodies are the most common. Ocular imaging lays an important role while evaluating a case of IOFB. The imaging modalities commonly used are B-scan ultrasonography (USG), X-ray, and computed tomography. Three port pars plana vitrectomy (PPV) with removal of IOFB through limbal or scleral incision is the most common approach. Silicone oil tamponade is used in cases with retinal detachment, proliferative vitreoretinopathy, or endophthalmitis.
