Abstract

Introduction: Intraocular Foreign Bodies (IOFBs) are unusual and can cause serious eye damage.

Case Presentation: We present a case report of a 62-year-old male patient who presented to our ophthalmic emergency department with an intraocular foreign body following a domestic accident.Imaging evaluation with facial CT scan confirmed the presence of a foreign body, made of glass, without any associated bone fractures.

Conclusion: Previous studies have emphasized the potential complications and visual consequences associated with these injuries.This case report contributes to the existing literature on intraocular foreign bodies and reinforces the importance of prompt diagnosis and appropriate management.
