Management of corneal foreign bodies.

Abstract:

:Optimal management of corneal foreign-body injuries includes an accurate history, thorough examination of both eyes, atraumatic removal of the foreign body, elimination of the rust ring, appropriate antibiotic prophylaxis and protective patching. Pitfalls to be avoided include using topical steroids, which may promote ulceration from fungal contaminants, and prescribing topical anesthetics, which can mask the pain of a retained tarsal foreign body or a developing corneal ulcer. Careful records of care and follow-up are essential.
