Abstract
Objective
To study the outcome of removal of intraocular foreign bodies (IFB) via limbus using 23-gauge (23G) vitrectomy.
Methods
A retrospective non-comparative interventional case series of 22 cases (22 eyes) fulfilling the inclusion criteria were enrolled. They underwent 23G vitrectomy for management of posterior segment IFB and followed up 6~12 months (8.31±1.70 months). Eyes with penetrating eye injury involving cornea or sclera, cataract associated with anterior and/or posterior capsule tear requiring cataract surgery and IFB diagnosed by CT scan were included. Main outcome measures included success in removal of IFB without enlarging sclerotomy, ability to preserve capsular which helping secondary intraocular lens (IOL) implantation, improvement in visual acuity and complications.
Results
All eyes underwent the successful removal IFB through limbus (100%). Second intraocular lens was implant in 19 eyes (86.36%). The visual acuity showed significant improvement except 4 eyes (81.82%). There were no sclerotomy-related complications.
Conclusions
23G vitrectomy for removal of IFB via the limbus is an alternative approach for select cases. This method obviates the need for scleral port enlargement and reduces sclerotomy-related complications, and preserve capsular support for early visual rehabilitation by secondary IOL implantation.

China Practical Ophthalmology was founded in May 1983. It is supervised by the National Health Commission of the People's Republic of China, sponsored by the Chinese Medical Association and China Medical University, and publicly distributed at home and abroad. It is a national-level excellent core academic journal of comprehensive ophthalmology and a series of journals of the Chinese Medical Association.
China Practical Ophthalmology aims to guide and improve the theoretical level and actual clinical diagnosis and treatment ability of frontline ophthalmologists in my country. It is characterized by close integration with clinical practice, and timely publishes academic articles and scientific research results with high practical value to clinicians, so that readers can understand and use them, improve the theoretical level and diagnosis and treatment ability of ophthalmologists, help and support their innovative development, and is deeply welcomed and loved by ophthalmologists and readers.
