Removal of full-thickness vertical corneal stromal wooden foreign bodies: An innovative ab-interno technique
A 28-year-old male presented with three full-thickness stromal wooden foreign bodies vertically oriented in the left cornea. An innovative intracameral approach was used. Paracentesis was done and healon was injected into the anterior chamber. Iris repositor was introduced into the anterior chamber...

| description | A 28-year-old male presented with three full-thickness stromal wooden foreign bodies vertically oriented in the left cornea. An innovative intracameral approach was used. Paracentesis was done and healon was injected into the anterior chamber. Iris repositor was introduced into the anterior chamber and the area of foreign bodies was pushed up to compress the stroma. The wooden foreign body projected above the corneal surface and were picked up one by one using McPherson forceps. One of the foreign bodies has penetrated through the Descemet's membrane resulting a corneal perforation. A corneal perforation was confirmed by observing egress of the irrigating solution, injected into the anterior chamber through the paracentesis opening. The corneal perforation was sealed with corneal glue. He achieved 6/9 BCVA (OS) at 8 weeks and maintained it during18 months follow-up. |
