Abstract
- The authors analysed 51 cases of intraocular foreign body patients who were treated at the Ophthalmic Department of Hangang Sacred Heart Hospital, during a 6 year period. Follow up study was done for all cases of patient at least 6 months or more after operation. And the author studied several factors which influence the prognosis of intraocular foreign body. The results are as follows: 1. The incidence of intraocular foreign body was prevalent in young male adult 20-30 years of age, and a large number of their cases were magnetic properties. 2. Larger the size of foreign body and deeper the location of foreign body, worse the prognosis of final visual acuity was. 3. Time interval between injury and operation did not influence the prognosis of final visual acuity. 4. Corneal perforation had better prognosis than scleral perforation in the visual outcome.
