Introduction: Ocular blast injury related to fireworks most often causing corneal erosion (29%), conjunctival erosion (11%), and conjunctival foreign body (10%) with children are more often than adults (65.9%:34.1%), and males far more often than female (71.9%:28.1%). Knowing proper management is very important to achieve the best result. Case presentation: We describe an ocular blast injury that experienced broad erosion and multiple foreign bodies on the corneal and pericorneal surface in the left eye and visual acuity decreased. The foreign body was scattered, and the fluorescein test was positive. We did proper foreign body extraction, irrigation, and ocular bandage. It was treated with chloramphenicol 0.5% eye ointment and homatropine eye drop. In two months, the patient’s left eye had clear cornea with a small scar formation near the visual axis. The visual acuity was 6/7 and BCVA was 6/6 with S-0.5 C-0.5 A 50° correction. Conclusions: Patients with ocular blast injury limited to superficial cornea erosion and and conjunctival erosion have a reasonable probability of achieving the best visual acuity. Foreign body extraction, proper irrigation, and topical medication show promising results. Scar formation near the visual axis can disrupt visual acuity however can be corrected in this case it can be corrected with glasses. Furthermore, public promotion and regulation to control firework using are very important.

Background. Most of foreign body aspiration cases are found in children under the age of fifteen. Pediatric patients often presents with non-food foreign body aspiration, such as toys. The most common clinical manifestation are history of choking following foreign object insertion into the mouth (85%), paroxysmal cough (59%), wheezing (57%) and airway obstruction (5%). Case presentation. Main principle of airway foreign body extraction is to do it immediately in the most optimal condition with slightest possible trauma. Rigid bronchoscopy is a suitable choice for tracheal foreign body extraction. We reported a case of seven years old male with tracheal foreign body presented with history of whistle ingestion five hours prior to admission. This patient was discharged from hospital after third days of rigid bronchoscopy procedure. Conclusion. History of foreign body aspiration in children should be suspected as a tracheobronchial foreign body. Rigid bronchoscopy is preferred to extract foreign bodies present in the trachea. The prognosis for tracheobronchial foreign body aspiration is good if the foreign body is treated early and without complications.

Abstract Background: There is an increasing trend toward performing pars plana vitrectomy and simultaneous cataract extraction in the management of patients with intraocular foreign bodies and traumatic cataracts. Herein, we describe a case of good visual rehabilitation in a patient without traumatic cataract surgery after removal of a ferrous intravitreal foreign body (IVFB) using an external approach. Case presentation: A 44-year-old man presented to our ophthalmology department because of decreased visual acuity after a penetrating trauma to the left eye 2 days earlier. Best-corrected visual acuity (BCVA) was 20/200. An examination revealed a midperipheral self-sealing corneal penetrating wound at the 5 o’clock position, in addition to a mild inflammatory reaction in the anterior chamber. Pupil dilation revealed peripheral anterior and posterior capsular violations, with subcapsular opacity involving the visual axis. A small metallic-like foreign body suspended in the vitreous was confirmed by B-scan ultrasonography and orbital computed tomography. This IVFB was successfully removed by external magnetic extraction through a pars plana incision. At the 2-week follow-up, the traumatic cataract was partially resolved, and BCVA improved to 20/125. At the 3-month follow-up, the traumatic cataract was mostly resolved, the visual axis was clear under a normal pupil, and BCVA improved to 20/20. Peripheral localized lens opacity was found after pupil dilation, and a fundus examination revealed no obvious abnormality. Conclusions: The size and location of an intraocular foreign body and the location and extent of lenticular involvement and associated injuries should be considered in patients with intraocular foreign bodies and traumatic cataracts. In selected patients with a small ferrous IVFB and a localized traumatic cataract, a good visual outcome may be achieved with minimal surgery. Keywords: Intravitreal foreign body, Traumatic cataract, External approach, Case report.

Objective: To determine the factors affecting the visual outcome in patients with open globe injuries of eye. Materials and methods: In a prospective interventional study of consecutive patients with open globe injuries, the age, gender, place of injury, object causing injury and safety precautions taken were recorded. A detailed examination of the eye was done with a slit-lamp. X-rays of the orbits were taken in order to determine the presence of a foreign body. The injuries were classified as simple or complicated depending on the involvement of the pupil/iris, lens and retina. Finally, post operative best-corrected visual acuity at last follow up was noted. Results: Fifty-two patients (52 eyes) were included in the study. The mean age of patients was 27.25±12.62 years (range 9-73 years). The majority of injuries occurred in the workplace (36.5%); nail (15.4%) and glass (15.4%) were the most common objects causing injury. Of those with good initial visual acuity, 90% maintained good visual outcome. Patients with corneal lacerations of less than 5 mm had significant good visual outcome. The number of corneal lacerations and visual axis involvement did not affect the visual outcome. Those with corneoscleral lacerations had significantly poor visual outcomes compared to those with corneal or scleral lacerations alone.Conclusion: Predictors of good visual outcome are good initial visual acuity, a corneal laceration wound of less than 5mm, a deep anterior chamber, and simple lacerations. Age, gender, place of injury, object causing injury, presence of hyphema or intraocular foreign body, and the use of safety precautions did not affect the visual outcome.DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.3126/nepjoph.v4i2.6542 Nepal J Ophthalmol 2012; 4 (2): 263-270

Objectives: To investigate the clinical characteristics of cataract patients with small pupils and to evaluate the result of cataract surgery on the eye have small pupils by phacotechnique. Subjects and methods: Descriptive study, prospective, uncontrolled interventions. Sample selection. The sample size of 70 patients with 70 eyes of cataracts with small pupils was treated by phaco technique and intraocular lens implant within posterior chamber. Follow up to 3 months. Results: 70 eyes, the percentage of men and women was not different from 54.2% (38 male) compared to 45.8% (32 female). The mean age was 80 ± 8.74, from 58 to 99 years. The disease was mainly found in the age group over 70 years old with over 80% (51.5%). Visual acuity before surgery was very poor under 3m CF (count finger) for 68.6% (48/70). Visual acuity over 1/10 was only a small amount with 2.8% (2 eyes). Pseudoexfoliation was the most common reason complications of mydriasis with 32/70 eyes (45.7%) and 22/70 eyes (31.4%) for age. The preoperative pupilarysizewas mostly small with 63/70 eyes (90.0%), non-dilated pupils (7/70 eyes) (10.0%). Average pupil size was 3.34 mm (2 - 4mm). Iris condition: iris atrophy 20/10 eyes (28.6%), iris synechiae 11/10 (15.7%), irregular iris muscle with 51, 4% and good iris muscle accounted for 48.6%. Grade of cataract: Grade III: 31/70 eyes (44.3%), Grade IV: 32/70 eyes (45.7%), Grade II: 5/70 eyes (7.1%) and V:2/70 eyes (2.9%). Pupil expander technique: OVD injection with 42/70 eyes (60%), using iris hook with 23/70 eyes (32.9%). Pupillary size before and after intervention has changed from 3.7mm to 4.48mm. Conclusions: Iris expander techniques have been shown to have good dilated pupils: 60.0% OVD injection, iris hook was 32.9%, other methods 7.1% One-week visibility of good visual acuity was higher than that of postoperative one day (12.2%) and increased at 1 month and 3 months (20.0%). Very good visual acuity was not available and low vision group was 1.4% after 3 months. Key words: cataract surgery; phacoemusification, small pupil

Purpose : The aim of this study is to report a case of intraorbital wooden foreign body with intracranial extension to the frontal lobe and its management. Method : This is a descriptive study: A 53 year-old male referred due to wooden stick stucked in the orbital cavity causing protruding eyeball and vital sign instability. Result : Right eye examination revealed light perception visual acuity, with bad light projection and bad color perception, inwardly folded upper eyelid, proptosis, conjunctival chemosis, corneal erosion and edema, dilated pupil with sluggish pupillary light reflex and limited ocular movement in all direction. Vital sign was unstable with decreasing blood pressure, increasing temperature and heart rate. CT Scan showed complete fracture of the orbital roof due to penetration of the wooden stick, pneumoencephalus, cerebral edema and hematoma. Emergency craniotomy was performed to remove the penetrating wooden stick and bone segment in the frontal lobe and fracture repair. Ophthalmologist pulled the remaining stick, released the superior rectus muscle and repaired the lacerated eyelid. Outcome visual acuity was no light perception with lagophthalmos and limited ocular motility. Patient was admitted to Intensive Care Unit one day post-operatively and treated with systemic and topical antibiotic. Conclusion : Any case presenting with intraorbital foreign body must undergo immediate neuroimaging to exclude any intracranial extension, especially in patients with worsening general condition.

Abstract Background To compare visual performance between the iris-fixated phakic intraocular len (pIOL) and implantable collamer len (ICL) to correct high myopia. Methods Twenty-four eyes underwent iris-fixated pIOL implantation and 24 eyes underwent ICL implantation. At the 6-month follow-up, the best-corrected visual acuity (BCVA) and uncorrected distance visual acuity (UDVA) were compared between the iris-fixated pIOL and ICL groups. The objective scatter index (OSI), modulation transfer function (MTF) cutoff, and ocular aberrations were performed to evaluate postoperative visual quality between the two groups. Results No significant difference was found in UDVA, BCVA, and spherical equivalent between the iris-fixated pIOL and ICL groups (P > 0.05). Six months after surgery, the following values were significantly higher in the ICL group than in the iris-fixated pIOL group: MTF cutoff, strehl ratio and optical quality analysis system values at contrasts of 9 %, 20 %, and 100 % (P < 0.01). The OSI in the iris-fixated pIOL group was higher than in the ICL group 6 months after surgery (P < 0.01). All high-order aberrations were slightly more severe in the iris-fixated pIOL group than in the ICL group 6 months after surgery, although only trefoil (P = 0.023) differed significantly in this regard. Conclusions Both iris-fixated lenses and ICLs can provide good visual acuity. ICLs confer better visual performance in MTF-associated parameters and induce less intraocular light scattering than iris-fixated pIOLs.
