Corneal foreign body removal

When penetrating the eyeball, foreign bodies often remain in the eyeball. Foreign bodies that enter the eyeball can be metallic or non-metallic. Metal foreign bodies can be divided into magnetic or non-magnetic. Therefore, when a penetrating injury occurs in the eyeball, it is first necessary to find out whether there is a foreign body in the eye, the nature and location of the foreign body, and the like. Only after the situation has been identified can a surgical plan be drawn up.
